Evaluation Background
I specialize in...
- Qualitative methods
- Mixed methods
I have worked with projects in the areas of:
- NSF projects other than ATE (e.g., IUSE, S-STEM, AISL, HSI, ADVANCE)
Training and Certifications
Professional development workshops, webinars, or online courses on evaluation
Outside of Work, I enjoy...
… house projects that challenge my skill level and deepen my understanding of what it mean to care for a 100 year old house.
A Successful Evaluation...
… provides stakeholders with useful insights about their current situation and new questions to consider about their next steps.
My Working Style...
… adapts to the clients’ needs and circumstances. We ask a lot of questions upfront to determine if we are the right fit for your project, whether or not we need to bring in partners with specializations or experience we do not already have in house.
