Ms. Hawkins received her Master of Science in Landscape Architecture with a concentration in Environmental Planning and Design; her undergraduate degree is in Cultural Anthropology. Between her tenure at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and, currently, with Three3, Ms. Hawkins has a decade of experience working in the research field as a social scientist. Her work has primarily been focused on program evaluation through the measurement of impacts and outcomes, systems analysis, case studies, participatory planning processes and community engagement, identification of key actors and social network analyses, and workshop design and facilitation.
Currently she is co-managing a regional evaluation of the health and resilience benefits of improving the energy-efficiency of affordable multifamily housing--leading the monetization effort for reduced incidences of medical care and deaths due to thermal stress, and the assessment of the building systems resilience benefits of energy-efficiency retrofits. These projects builds upon the research she conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory while co-managing the national evaluation of the U.S. Department of Energy’s low-income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), and the associated energy and non-energy health- and household-related impacts.
Ms. Hawkins is actively pursuing the expansion of Three3's portfolio to include evaluation and assessment of Placemaking initiatives focusing on the connection between built environment, public health and resiliency.
