About us

Research and evaluation grounded in lived reality

My work centers on designing and leading rigorous research and evaluations for organizations working in fragile, conflict-affected, and transitioning contexts. My approach is shaped by a PhD focused on the localization of aid, which grounds everything I do in a close attention to local realities and power dynamics. I help organizations turn complex, sensitive research into evidence they can actually act on.

A few things we’re great at

Our services

Monitoring, evaluation & learning

I design and lead comprehensive MEL systems for programs operating in fragile, conflict-affected, and transitioning contexts. My work translates complex, often sensitive findings into evidence organizations can act on: clear recommendations, evidence briefs, and reports built to hold up to donor and public scrutiny alike, while supporting the learning processes that help organizations adapt as conditions change.

Applied research

I lead qualitative and mixed-methods research on the issues shaping fragile and transitioning contexts. My approach is participatory by design: every research process I lead is built to genuinely center the perspectives of local actors and affected communities, not treat them as data points.
