Helping You Thrive
As the former VP of Evaluation for a global nonprofit, I know how difficult it can be to navigate the complex landscape of research, reporting, credibility, and impact. All while keeping an eye on spending, impressing stakeholders, and making decisions about where to invest precious staff resources.
That's why I founded Nonprofit Impact Consulting in 2024: to provided nonprofits with an alternative to staffing an internal research team, without losing access to the expertise that trained researchers can offer.
Since 2012, I've been serving local nonprofits as a volunteer, a service provider, a researcher, and an executive leader. I know firsthand the impact that nonprofits have in the world, and I am dedicated to helping organizations share their story of impact through compelling research studies, annual reports, data visuals, and so much more.
I am eager to see how we can work together to meet your most pressing research needs!
