Program Evaluation and Mixed-Methods Research Expert | Supporting social impact and development projects

Profile Summary

I am a Research Analyst and Consultant with a PhD in Public Policy and extensive experience leading mixed-methods studies, program evaluations, and impact assessments for government agencies, nonprofits, and international organizations. My expertise spans transportation, housing, public health, and the arts. My work often involves applying mixed-methods evaluation techniques such as survey research, systematic literature reviews, interviews, case studies, and complex data analysis. I am equally experienced in stakeholder engagement and facilitation, ensuring that diverse perspectives inform decision-making. I also bring strong skills in writing clear and practitioner-focused technical reports, policy briefs, and resource guides that translate evidence into actionable strategies. While I have worked on projects across a range of sectors and geographies, I have a strong interest in applying my expertise to research and evaluation initiatives in West Africa and Africa more broadly, where evidence-driven approaches can play a critical role in addressing pressing development challenges.
