About
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 I’m great at
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.
Core expertise: Localization and Locally-Led Practice
My approach is grounded in a PhD focused on the localization of aid; the practical shift toward centering the agency and expertise of local actors in humanitarian, development, and adjacent sectors. That shapes how I design and lead research and evaluations more broadly: with close attention to power, partnership, and whose knowledge counts as evidence.
