McStravick said: "NCB NI has made considerable progress in the field of research, working very closely with our partners in our two universities, the government and the voluntary sector. I look forward to building on this solid foundation, using evidence-based research to inform policy in Northern Ireland and ultimately improve the lives of children and young people."
McStravick brings more than 20 years of experience in the voluntary, community and local government sectors to her new role. In 1997, she became partnership facilitator at Derry City Council and in 1999 joined Common Purpose Northern Ireland, a cross-sector leadership development organisation.
Over the past two years, McStravick has been developing innovative responses to issues faced by secondary schools as part of the Extended Schools Programme and lecturing on the Masters programme for Organisational Development at Queens University Belfast. She also sits on the board of directors for the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education.
