I have over six years of experience working with communities and nonprofits to develop and implement evaluation and monitoring systems, including process/outcome evaluations, quality assurance mechanisms, and performance management systems. My portfolio spans education, grant-giving, workforce development, social work, mental health, and substance-use programming. I have also worked in the technology sector, translating organizational procedures and federal compliance policies into software logic and system requirements. Focusing on social justice, cultural responsiveness, and participatory approaches to research/evaluation, I aim to increase organizational, communal, and individual research and evaluation capacity to build sustainable practices.
