Quantitative Social Science · M&E · Data Science · AI Strategy for Mission-Driven Organizations

I turn complex data into decisions people can act on.

I bring academic-grade rigor to research, evaluation, and data science for mission-driven organizations — and I mentor social scientists building careers beyond academia.

A decade across global health, public opinion, and policy research, translating complex analysis into strategy, funding, and public understanding.
