Welcome!

I’m Elizabeth Teas, an applied researcher with expertise in program evaluation, research design, quantitative data analysis, and project management. I am currently the Director of Research & Analysis at Far Harbor in Austin, TX, where I lead our education portfolio evaluating the efficacy of education interventions and policies. Across my work, I am driven to improve individual and family well-being through applied, interdisciplinary research.

I completed my dual-title PhD in Human Development & Family Studies and Gerontology at Purdue University, where my research on biopsychosocial health processes was supported by an NIH NRSA F31 Fellowship from the National Institute on Aging under Dr. Elliot Friedman.

If I’m not deep in Stata code, I’m usually playing sand volleyball, buried in a book, or fueling up at a local coffee shop. Take a look around, and feel free to connect!
