Research that matters.
I work with program leaders who need both credible evaluation and expert guidance. Here's how I help turn data into decisions that make your programs stronger.
Custom evaluation design
I'll work with you to build assessment systems that actually fit your context and constraints. Instead of forcing your program into someone else's template, we'll design something that makes sense for your staff, your participants, and your stakeholders.
Assessment that supports daily operations
Your evaluation system should help staff make better decisions, increase your impact, and improve services, not just generate reports for external audiences.
Data collection that’s sustainable
We'll design data collection processes that your team can maintain without burning out or compromising program quality.
Accreditation guidance
I'll help you approach CSWE standards and other accreditation requirements systematically, with clear timelines and realistic expectations. We'll focus on building sustainable systems that meet standards while supporting your program's mission.
Preparation that doesn't consume your life
We'll create manageable timelines and realistic documentation processes that fit your existing workload and staff capacity.
Standards interpretation that makes sense
I'll help you understand what accreditors are actually looking for and how to demonstrate compliance without over-engineering your processes.
Grant evaluation support
I’ll design evaluation plans that satisfy your funders while generating information you can actually use for program improvement. We'll build evaluation approaches that serve both your funders’ requirements and your own decision-making needs.
Evaluation plans that funders approve
I understand what different types of funders want to see and how to present your approach in ways that build confidence in your program while keeping in mind program realities.
Data systems that inform program decisions
Beyond satisfying grant requirements, we'll ensure your evaluation generates insights that help you improve services and strengthen operations.
A collaborative approach that respects your expertise
I don’t come in with predetermined solutions. We work together to understand your context, constraints, and goals, then build approaches that actually fit your reality.
Understand your reality
What are you trying to accomplish? What constraints are you working within? What's been tried and failed before?
Design it together
I'll combine your program knowledge with my evaluation expertise to create sustainable approaches
Support implementation
I stay involved through rollout, troubleshoot problems, and adjust as we learn what works
Evaluation consulting that sees you
Most evaluators understand either academic requirements or program realities, but not both. Here’s what makes working with me different.
I’ve been in your shoes
My county contract work means I know what funding pressures, staff constraints, and political dynamics actually feel like
Academic credibility that serves you
I bring credentials and research background that satisfy your stakeholders while focusing on practical solutions
Sustainable approaches
I help you build systems your team can maintain without burning out or compromising program quality
Who benefits from this approach
Administrators who want evaluation approaches that satisfy academic requirements while actually fitting how their programs work.
Social work education programs

County social services
Meeting evaluation requirements while keeping focus on serving families and communities
