You have urgent problems and I want to help.

I’ve partnered with institutions, systems, states, and mission-driven organizations to help build the evidence needed to inform equitable public policies. Whether your needs are small and self-contained, or you’d like to explore something bigger or less defined, let’s figure out how to build it together.

What I Can Offer

When the path forward isn’t clear, I help teams get unstuck at the intersection of evidence, policy, and practice.

I often work on well-defined, technical projects. That work is essential—and it lays the foundation for broader change. And what I’ve learned is that the value of that work depends on getting a few things right:

  • Being clear about the problem

  • Asking the right questions

  • Working with data that are actually useful

  • Making sure the results can inform real decisions

Sometimes the data you have aren’t quite aligned to the problem you’re trying to solve. Sometimes you just need a bit more technical capacity to move something forward. And sometimes you need a clearer way to show others what you’re seeing—to make the case that a problem exists and that it matters.

That’s where I can help.

I can make that space more navigable, whether that means refining the question, building and running the right analyses, or shaping a clear story that connects evidence to action.

I bring technical skill, strategic thinking, and a grounded understanding of how policy and practice actually work, from systems and states to the federal landscape. I’m a collaborative, roll-up-my-sleeves partner: a critical friend who will dig in, ask hard questions, and build something useful with you.

  • Rapid analysis or research synthesis to inform larger projects, support decision making and recommendations, or analyze a policy question.

  • Quant, qual, or mixed-methods research, grant and project reporting, framework design, or evaluation projects that require deeper partnership and iteration.

  • Ongoing support for teams building data-informed strategies or evaluating and strengthening implementation.
