As a social scientist, Ms. Rose collaborates with community members and groups to design and implement participatory research and initiatives. For the last decade, she has worked on a number of community-driven research and evaluation projects assessing health equity, food systems, housing justice, utility insecurity, and community resilience. As part of this work, Ms. Rose has co-created equity and justice-oriented frameworks that have guided design and implementation of demonstration projects and research. In addition to community-driven research, Ms. Rose designs and conducts research studies using systems change and other methods to advance transformative outcomes across sectors. She is the lead author and project manager of a series of energy burden studies for the U.S. Department of Energy that measure energy burdens for households eligible for the federal Weatherization Assistance Program. She is also the PI for Three3's non-energy impact studies of TVA's Home Uplift initiative (low-income weatherization program offered across the Tennessee valley). Ms. Rose has a Master of Science in Social Work degree from UT, Knoxville with a concentration in evidence-informed practice and policy, and a Master of Laws in International Human Rights (LLM) from the University of Edinburgh; she completed her legal dissertation on metrics and indicators associated with the Human Right to Adequate Housing.
