Matthew Held, M.A.

Project Manager, Research and Grants Management

"I began working at DePelchin Children’s Center in the Research and Grants Management department in 2007.  As a recent graduate of the University of Houston, DePelchin provided me with the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and utilize the research and evaluation skills I acquired in school.  I feel fortunate to work at a place that values and employs innovative research and evaluation practices to help children.  Whether a clinician, accountant or evaluator, every one is focused on strengthening the lives of the children we serve.  I believe this is what has made DePelchin such a rewarding place for me to work."
