About the Evaluator
With over a decade of evaluation experience, six of which have been in ATE, I am not only knowledgeable about the NSF, community college, and ATE spaces, but I am committed to understanding what makes your program unique so I can best tell your story. I have experience with all sizes of ATE grants and welcome new-to-ATE clients.
Evaluation Background
I specialize in...
- Qualitative methods
- Quantitative methods
- Developmental evaluation
- Participatory evaluation approaches
- Utilization-focused evaluation
I have worked with projects in the areas of:
- ATE projects
- NSF projects other than ATE (e.g., IUSE, S-STEM, AISL, HSI, ADVANCE)
- Projects at two-year colleges
- STEM education projects supported by funder other than NSF
Outside of Work, I enjoy...
… reading, trying new restaurants, exploring Chicago’s cultural institutions, and spending time with my friends.
A Successful Evaluation...
… is useful! Of course, it is supported by the proper methods, and it is presented in a way that makes sense to stakeholders. Ultimately, the data are understandable, and recommendations are reasonable.
My Working Style...
… is thoughtful and collaborative – I’ll ask you questions to get to the heart of what you (and the funders) want to know, gain your technical insights, and I’ll take it from there! I communicate frequently to keep you in the loop and will provide you with your data and interpretations on-time.
