Outside of Work, I enjoy...
… traveling, writing, and spending time with family and friends. I’m passionate about mentoring young women through my nonprofit, J.E.W.E.L.S., Inc., and I find joy in helping others step into their purpose. I also love music with a good beat, Sunday brunch with friends, and a well-timed meme.
A Successful Evaluation...
… not only measures outcomes but also fosters learning, informs decision-making, and uplifts the voices of those most impacted by the work.
My Working Style...
… is collaborative, intentional, and grounded in both cultural humility and methodological rigor. I believe the best evaluation work emerges from strong relationships, shared understanding, and mutual respect. Above all, I view evaluation as a tool for learning, liberation, and long-term change.
