Jillian Stein is a senior researcher with a passion for building evidence that empowers people and improves public well-being.
From an early age, she recognized how systems and access to opportunity shape the lives of people and communities, an awareness that later fueled her pursuit of advanced degrees in social work and her career at Mathematica. Since joining Mathematica in 2006, Stein has worked on projects that span multiple disciplines, including workforce development, criminal and juvenile justice, and behavioral health.
Her primary focus is on evaluating programs and policies that affect people impacted by the juvenile and criminal justice systems. She currently serves as deputy project director for the Pathway Home Evaluation, a study assessing the implementation and impacts of the Pathway Home grants, which provide employment-focused reentry services to people returning to the community after incarceration. In addition, she provides technical assistance to CMS and states in implementing, monitoring, and evaluating Medicaid 1115 reentry demonstrations.
