Build effective programs with credible evaluation
I'll help you navigate CSWE standards with confidence through clear roadmaps and practical guidance, because I understand both academic requirements and program constraints.
Assessment that helps programs improve
I design assessment systems that fit your context, surface insights you can actually use, and help your team improve daily operations while meeting all external requirements.
Handle accreditation without panic
I'll help you navigate CSWE standards with confidence through clear roadmaps and practical guidance, because I understand both academic requirements and program constraints.
Research grounded in program realities
I bridge academic credibility with practical implementation using evidence-based approaches that account for your staff dynamics, funding pressures, and stakeholder realities.
I've worked in programs like yours.
I'm an Associate Professor at SDSU, and I also do health and social services contract work. So I live in both worlds.
I know what it's like when evaluation requirements don't match program realities, when accreditation feels impossible, and when you're drowning in data that doesn't actually help you improve anything.
Research that informs better programs
My recent studies focus on challenges you face every day—evaluation that works, accreditation that doesn't kill you, and bringing academic rigor to program realities.
Academic work grounded in program experience
As a researcher, I study the challenges you face every day: evaluation that works, accreditation strategies that don't kill programs, and how to bridge academic requirements with program realities.
My publications aren't just for academic careers; they're focused on solving real problems that program administrators deal with daily. This research directly informs my consulting approach, ensuring that everything I recommend is evidence-based and practically tested.
