Meet the Team
We're a small team of researchers, data strategists, and evaluation specialists who are passionate about helping organizations use evidence to drive impact.

Founder & President

She holds a PhD in Developmental Psychology from Fordham University and has designed and conducted hundreds of evaluation studies focused on youth development, teacher preparation, and educational technology.
