About the Evaluator
With a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and years of experience supporting federally funded initiatives—including NSF, Department of Education, and NASA grants—I specialize in mixed-methods research and evaluation for technical and career pathways, community college programs, and organizational development projects. I collaborate closely with academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and industry partners to assess outcomes, develop logic models, measure impact, and translate findings into actionable insights.
Evaluation Background

- Qualitative methods
- Quantitative methods
- Mixed methods

Outside of Work, I enjoy...
… spending time with family, traveling, writing (poetry, books), and antique shopping
A Successful Evaluation...
… represents a guidepost to assist institutions, PIs, and funders with understanding actionable steps to sustain and replicate key program outcomes. This type of evaluation is a living document that continuously informs future programming.
My Working Style...
… is collaborative, with ongoing dialogue to ensure a clear understanding. I am flexible and can adapt meeting engagements to the client’s preferences (informal/formal) to ensure the best possible outcomes are achieved.
