At Compass, I specialize in applying decision analysis and facilitation methods to assist groups in making informed and defensible decisions. I work with all types of groups including multi-stakeholder groups, technical working groups and inter-governmental groups (including indigenous governments). I aim to build bridges across people with different interests and areas of knowledge so that they can work together to tackle tough problems and hard choices. I have a multi-disciplinary background in public policy, economics, environmental science and decision analysis. I have worked in a wide range of fields, including water management, land management, environmental assessment, climate change, endangered species recovery and public transportation. This breadth of experience allows me to help people use and integrate both qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to inform decisions. In particular, I am often playing the role of an intermediary between a decision making body and a technical team to achieve the right level of modeling analysis to fit a particular decision context. I work collaboratively with clients to leverage their internal experts as well as integrate external experts into a decision process.
