Living and working on the traditional, unceded, and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil‑Waututh) Nations.
I’m an evaluation consultant and facilitator working out of Vancouver, BC. I’m a data nerd with a passion for making evaluation meaningful, accessible, and a force for positive change.
I’m a white settler and a queer, trans, nonbinary person (who uses they/he pronouns). I’m proud to be part of a thriving professional community geared toward serving equity and justice alongside creating good programs, services, and policies. I’m engaged in a life-long process of discerning, disrupting, and dismantling settler colonialism and white supremacist culture in my life and work.
I also co-host the Eval Cafe podcast, a semi-regular podcast of informal conversations on evaluation topics alongside my co-host and colleague Brian Hoessler of Strong Roots Consulting.

Guiding Principles
Being relational and collaborative by recognizing and centering the importance of relationships built on trust, respect, and effective communication and working closely with others toward mutual goals.
Being appreciative and strengths-focused by attending to the assets and opportunities that exist within every organization and individual, and designing evaluations that build on these strengths.
Embracing multiplicity of viewpoints, needs, and truths by being open to many perspectives, not assuming universal or singular solutions, and framing this as an opportunity rather than a hindrance for the evaluation process.
Promoting use of evaluation processes and products by creating experiences and deliverables that are accessible, meaningful, and responsive to users' needs, and by adhering to the other principles given here.
