Audrey Martinez-Gudapakkam
Research Associate
Audrey draws on her prior teaching experience in her work on evaluation projects, which primarily involve STEM-related teacher professional development. Audrey’s other work combines her interests in early childhood education, minorities, and immigrants, including an investigation she is conducting on how to engage Latino families with young children by building on daily activities to teach math and science concepts. Audrey came to TERC from EDC, where she evaluated STEM educational programs and researched a Latino teen pregnancy prevention program.
Outside of TERC, Audrey enjoys spending time with family and friends, painting, biking, learning about history, and volunteering as a Boston Public School parent.
