ORGANIZATIONAL SERVICES
Research & consulting grounded in evidence.
I work with organizations, HR teams, nonprofits, and public agencies who need research and consulting that balances rigor with adaptability. I bring you actionable findings and love to support implementation of findings and change management.
Not sure which service fits your situation? Most engagements start with a short discovery call. I'll ask about your goals, your constraints, and what you've already tried — and we'll figure out together what makes sense.
Program Evaluation
Evaluation of existing programs. Organizations spend significant resources on these programs — this is the work that tells you whether that investment is doing what you intended. Particularly useful for grant-funded work, funder reporting, or internal program review.
TYPICALLY INCLUDES:
Logic model development or review
Outcome and process measure design
Data collection and analysis
Evaluation report with findings and implications
Optional: Presentation(s) to stakeholders
Add on: Implementation support
AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
Social service systems (e.g., homelessness, behavioral health, care coordination)
Employee well-being and burnout (prevention, strategies, listening programs)
Survey Design & Analysis
Custom survey development, administration support, quantitative and/or qualitative analysis, and reporting. Can be scoped as a standalone project or as a component of a larger engagement. Particularly strong fit for organizations that have data but need help making sense of it.
TYPICALLY INCLUDES:
Instrument design grounded in construct validity and informative findings
Administration and response rate support
Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis
Findings and data visualization
Workshops & Training
Half- or full-day workshops for HR teams, nonprofit staff, or community organizations. Topics include well-being measurement fundamentals, survey methodology, data interpretation, and research literacy for non-researchers. Custom topics available based on organizational need.
SAMPLE TOPICS & AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
Research, Evaluation, & Data
Mixed-methods research methods
Qualitative research methods (focus groups, interviews)
Turning data into organizational decisions

Needs Assessments
A comprehensive mixed-methods needs assessment within your organization or community. I design the study, collect the data, analyze it, and deliver findings your leadership can act on — not a canned report with benchmarks that don't fit your context.

Qualitative data collection (interviews or focus groups)
Analysis of pre-existing system-level data
Integrated quantitative and qualitative analysis
Executive summary and findings report
Recommendations tied to organizational context

An advisory or consulting engagement for HR or People Analytics teams designing or overhauling their employee listening infrastructure. I help you think through cadence, survey architecture, question design, driver analysis methodology, and how to translate results into organizational action.

Current state audit of listening program
Survey instrument design and psychometric review
Recommendations on pulse vs. annual vs. lifecycle architecture
Reporting and action-planning framework
Optional: Analysis support for existing survey data
Research Report / White Paper
A research-grounded written product for external or internal audiences — synthesizing existing literature, original analysis, or both. Useful for organizations publishing thought leadership, positioning a program or initiative, or communicating research findings to a non-research audience.
TYPICALLY INCLUDES:
Literature review and synthesis
Original data analysis (if applicable)
Professionally formatted written deliverable
Executive summary
