Supporting Positive Impact in Health and Environment spaces through Evaluation, Insights, and Implementation
Understand Your Impact
Through MEL and IMM methods and practices, I help organizations work through areas of real growth and impact and areas for improvement.
Get Implementation and Technical Support
With a blend of scientific, subject-matter and operational experience, I assist organizations at various project stages with technical, evidence-based assistance.
Build Your Evidence Base with Research and Analytics
I assist with a range of data needs—from monitoring, research, and analytics in traditional grant-funded work to tailored research and analyses for due diligence, market research and risk mitigation for providers of blended, patient, and catalytic capital.
Grow Your Impact Capacity
I help increase your team’s understanding of health and environment evidence and help translate that into action so you can better adapt, communicate, and move closer to sustainable, meaningful change.
SERVICES
Providing clarity, growing confidence in your work, and expanding your capacity to make lasting change.
NGOs/Nonprofits
Having worked for nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations I understand the unique needs and constraints faced by them. I provide outside data, analytic and technical expertise that aligns with missions and capabilities of each organization I work with to realize their desired outcomes and impact.
Funders and Impact Investors
I assist funders and investors several ways, including technical support to entities they fund, conducting MEL or IMM processes with a learning lens, and getting into the details of project or funding launch with tailored market and needs assessment, operational assessment, and numerous aspects of due diligence.
Implementing Agencies
My freelance services extend to sub-contracting with larger implementing agencies on a project and retainer basis. I enjoy the team environment and working on large projects, where I provide technical assistance on health and environment projects as well as more narrowly-focused MEL or data and analytics projects.
Evaluation and data with a purpose.
