I work with groups, organizations, and teams to identify and synthesize the information they need to make significant decisions.
I am a qualitative and community centered researcher who supports community organizations, local collaborations, and government in designing studies, policies, programs, and processes that center the experiences and voices of those most impacted.
Landscape Research
I help you identify the landscape of a burgeoning policy concept through strategic research. This may include identifying similar policy efforts and developing a comparative analysis of what worked and didn’t in those jurisdictions.
Policy Research and Analysis
I do the research to help you make better decisions. I work with you to identify the implications of a policy proposal. I interview key interest holders about the policy and develop memos and white papers to outline the core issues and policy pathways.
Community Centered Research
Good policy and programs are grounded in the communities they intend to benefit. I facilitate advisory groups, focus groups, and meetings to inform policies and program development.
