Workforce Development Council
The Hawaii State Workforce Development Council administers WIOA for the state of Hawaii.
I used economic, sociodemographic, and labor market data to improve workforce development program outcomes. I'm also the day-to-day correspondent and research lead in Hawaii's participation of the National Governors Association State Consortium to Understand and Support the On-Demand Workforce.

Language:
Accommodation: Does providing translation services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) migrants improve their welfare? In particular, does requiring translation services within the healthcare insurance sector increase Medicaid take-up rates?
Inter-generational transfers: According to the ethnic attrition literature (Duncan & Trejo), Hispanic self-identification often is more tied to the father's birthplace. This is theorized to be due to receiving a Hispanic family name from the father. However, we often speak of mother-tongues, as opposed to father-tongues; what affects a child's first (and second) language acquisition?
