I began my career passionate about using data, evidence, and insights to tackle complex development challenges. Over the years, I have cultivated specialized expertise at the intersection of monitoring, evaluation, and empirical research to promote targeted, responsive, and adaptive programs. I assist partners in designing measurement frameworks suited to their needs and operating environments. My process involves understanding organizational priorities and collaborating with diverse internal teams to develop customized indicators, data collection protocols, and learning structures. I provide hands-on support related to instrument design, sampling, database development, statistical modeling, and visualization to elucidate trends. With experience recruiting and training field personnel, combined with analytical rigor and attention to detail, I ensure data quality and reliability - translating to impactful evidence-based decisions. Moreover, I employ integrated qualitative and quantitative skillsets to synthesize learnings into practical, audience-centered reports, policy briefs, and presentations.
