Research grounded in practice
My studies focus on real challenges you face: making evaluation work in your context, surviving accreditation without losing your mind, and bridging academic requirements with program realities.
Social work education
Studies on curriculum design, field education, accreditation standards, and teaching methods that improve how we prepare social workers for practice.
Rural and agricultural health
Research on processes and frameworks that assist educational institutions in achieving and maintaining accreditation standards and requirements.
Child welfare and foster care
Evaluation studies and outcome research focused on services for youth in care and child welfare system improvements.
Why my approach works differently
Most consultants guess. I know. My studies of successful programs reveal exactly what creates lasting change and sustainable compliance.
Assessment that strengthens programs
Most evaluation collects data for external requirements but doesn't help programs improve. My research informs assessment approaches that surface actionable insights - which interventions work best, where teams need support, how to adjust in real-time.
Accreditation without overwhelm
Programs struggle not because they lack quality, but because they can't translate their work into reviewer language. I help you organize evidence systematically and present your story in ways that resonate with accreditors.
Changes that stick
Most program improvements fail during implementation, not design. My understanding of organizational change guides realistic rollout strategies that account for staff capacity and existing workflows.
