That’s the beauty of a solo operation like mine – I’m able to get to know you, your team, and your goals on a deep level. Paired with my extensive experience, I’m poised to:
Anticipate potential issues before they arise, and quickly troubleshoot if they do
Develop evaluation designs with integrity and accuracy
Respond quickly to questions
Streamline processes through stakeholder management
Work within existing systems or design improved ones to better meet your needs
And most importantly, I’ll be there to cheer you on and celebrate your success!

My Process
All proposals will look a bit different, depending on your project and how far along things are.
But no matter what you’re working on, you can expect a highly collaborative experience and a down-to-earth thought partner who rolls with the punches and enjoys a good laugh.
Here’s how things will generally flow:
01
Discovery:
I want to hear your story – what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and what you need to make it happen. I’ll talk to as many members of your team as it takes!
02
Strategy:
This is where we take a step back to identify all of the moving parts, set priorities, and frame a compelling, detailed project scope and/or proposal.
03
Execution:
Once we have a plan, I’ll design instruments to gather necessary data.
04
Research:
With your unique needs in mind, I begin collecting targeted data that not only provides context, but gives actionable information to achieve your objectives. Throughout our work together, I continue to research and assess if deliverables are on track and results are aligned with your goals.
05
Follow Up:
Even after a project concludes, I’m always available to provide support. I get to know my clients well and come to think of them as friends, so you bet I’ll keep in touch!
