Resumes
(Yes, Plural!)

My professional experiences are eclectic, so I created a different resume for each constellation of experiences.

 

Because I consult on different topics, I thought to make these different resumes available to potential clients. 

Research & Assessment

Forward-thinking, systematic, equity-seeking leader with 15+ years in higher education and 10+ years in applied research, assessment, and evaluation.  Uses the rigors of the mind and the heart to assess practices and policies with quantitative and qualitative methods enabling organizations to make sound data-driven, equity-minded decisions.  Empowers others with best practices and context-specific guidance at each stage of a data project including ideation, planning, implementation, and application of insights.  Develops user-friendly computer programs to assist with data restructuring, cleaning, and validation in preparation for equity-oriented, accurate, and efficient reporting.  Leads inclusive teams by cultivating psychological safety, continuous improvement, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

What Consulting Clients Say

"I am a university professor and have been using a variety of Amy’s consulting services for nearly 15 years. Amy consistently brings a number of talents to the table which are useful no matter which project Amy is assisting me with. Working with Amy is like having a second brain—the synergy that comes from our sessions not only results in better overall quality of work, but it inspires me to greater productivity even when our meeting has ended! Amy brings the best of “head” and “heart” to a project: She is an outstanding thinker—precise, analytical, big picture and detail-oriented, systematic, and organized—but she is also patient, empathetic, non-judgmental, and kind. Whether you are looking for help with statistical analysis, manuscript review, survey-making, curriculum development, or general brainstorming and organization of your thoughts and ideas, Amy assists with razor-sharp focus, care and grace—all with a great sense of humor that keeps everything in perspective! I highly recommend Amy Pojar for whatever project you may be working on—just as long as you leave room in her schedule for me! ;-)"

Teaching & Learning

Including Curricula Development

Student-centered, equity-minded educator with 20+ years experience teaching, training, and creating curricula.  Uses the rigors of the mind and the heart to create robust, scaffolded educational experiences for learners in curricular and co-curricular spaces.  Simplifies the overly-complicated and complicates the overly-simplified to enhance learner understanding and critical thinking. Employs inclusive pedagogies and highlights critical perspectives enabling learners to find their voice and seek strong objectivity*.  Creates curricula in various modes from micro-learning exercises to year-long courses.  Holds an MA and CPhil in Education.  

 

Experience creating learning materials and/or facilitating learning on a wide array of topics spanning various social science disciplines, intercultural communication, a number of quantitative and qualitative methods, coding, assessment and evaluation, critical media literacy, civic engagement, global citizenship, compassionate leadership, equity-mindedness in research and assessment, etc.  


* Standpoint theorists deem strong objectivity an aspirational goal of research; however, it can also be employed as an aspirational goal of teaching.

"Amy is wonderful, we had so many deep and enriching conversations that were not limited to simply the assignments or the readings. She is very knowledgeable about the world at large which allows for meaningful conversations and productive meetings."
