Insights you can trust.

My atypical career trajectory is also my strength: I can translate, run stats, problem-solve, prepare your team for a presentation, and help make sense out of (what may seem like) hopelessly messy data. My perspectives are informed by academic social sciences, non-profit program management, government contracting, and higher education.
