With a strong foundation in educational psychology and clinical training in insight-oriented therapy, I bring a unique human-centered approach to learning and evaluation in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.

 

My work is grounded in the understanding that meaningful change arises not just from data, but from insight—gained through reflection, dialogue, and a deep awareness of human behavior and systems. I support nonprofits and foundations in developing learning strategies and evaluation practices that do more than measure outcomes—they foster growth, surface complexity, and build the capacity to adapt.

 

Drawing from psychology and 20 years of experience in applied research and evaluation, I help organizations ask better questions and reflect on both intended and emergent outcomes. Whether facilitating learning agendas, designing evaluation plans, or translating evaluation findings into action, I approach each engagement with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to co-creation.

 

I believe that effective evaluation is not only about measuring impact, but also about deepening understanding—of people, systems, and the possibilities for transformation.

I live in Red Lodge, Montana; always enjoy a good cup of coffee; and treasure connecting with people. If you are interested in nonprofit capacity building, please visit Data Literacy for Social Change.
