Program Development

My educational background in developmental psychology and early learning, combined with my expertise in conducting assessments and providing data-driven recommendations, supports organizations in designing and updating innovative programs to meet community needs. Through analysis of best practices and program outcomes, I work with leadership and stakeholders to ensure that new initiatives are grounded in evidence-based solutions, leading to meaningful impact.

Organizational Evaluation

The internal processes of an organization or team may determine its impact and effectiveness in accomplishing its mission. Using a collaborative approach, I lead stakeholders and team members in data collection and resource mapping, analysis of results, and reflective sense-making sessions that support team understanding of data-based recommendations. Organizations may choose to collect and explore data related to last year’s outcomes; evaluate current opportunities and barriers; or brainstorm and plan for success in next year’s projects.

Community Feedback

Evaluations of program impact or outcomes may be required in annual reporting for a grant or funding organization; community feedback may also be solicited as part of the thoughtful design of a new program. My experience in facilitating focus groups and interviews, and in creating and disseminating well-designed surveys, ensures that the community’s voice contributes to shaping educational programs and policy. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis of participant outcomes, attitudes, beliefs, needs, and priorities, I provide evidence and recommendations for initiatives that boost organizational impact and serve children, families, and early educators.
