Exploring disability, health, and inclusion through research and evaluation.

Program Evaluation

Measuring Impact, Driving Change

I provide comprehensive program evaluation services designed to help organizations understand what is working, what can be improved, and how their efforts are making a difference. My evaluations combine qualitative and quantitative approaches, tailored to the unique goals of each project. I emphasize collaboration, ensuring that stakeholders are actively engaged throughout the process, from designing evaluation frameworks to interpreting results. This way, findings are not just data points but practical insights that inform future planning, funding, and strategy.

Community Engagement

Centering Voices That Matter

Inclusive community engagement is at the heart of my work. I design and facilitate processes that bring community members into meaningful dialogue, ensuring that their lived experiences and perspectives inform decision-making. This approach not only builds trust but also strengthens the relevance and sustainability of programs and policies. From workshops to participatory research methods, I help organizations create platforms where underrepresented voices are heard, respected, and valued in shaping outcomes.

Policy & Program Analysis

Assessing What Works

Strong policies and programs require critical evaluation to remain relevant and effective. I offer in-depth analysis of policies and initiatives, identifying gaps, strengths, and opportunities for improvement. My work bridges research and practice by examining how policies affect real communities and recommending evidence-based strategies for change. Whether it’s assessing accessibility, measuring equity, or ensuring inclusivity, my goal is to support organizations, governments, and institutions in building systems that reflect fairness and effectiveness.

Knowledge Sharing

Bringing Research Into Practice

Knowledge is most powerful when shared. I translate complex research findings into accessible formats—through talks, workshops, training sessions, and publications—so they can inform practice and policy. My sessions are designed to not only present information but to spark reflection, conversation, and action. From academic audiences to community groups, I tailor my knowledge-sharing to the context, ensuring that participants leave with insights they can apply to their work, advocacy, or personal growth.

Dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion through research, evaluation, and community-focused scholarship.
