About Me

I support organizations through the full grant development process: identifying appropriate funding opportunities, structuring competitive applications, and developing the work plans, training components, and evaluation sections that strengthen proposals. I have secured and administered more than ten grants, large and small, both independently and as part of teams, including a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded initiative.

Typical engagements: preparing a competitive federal, state, or foundation application, or planning the deliverables of a new award.

I conduct needs assessments that identify capability gaps and translate organizational and workforce needs into practical recommendations. This work includes stakeholder engagement, data collection and analysis, and clear reporting, and provides a foundation for training programs, learning pathways, and strategic planning.

Typical engagements: assessing training and capability needs across an organization, prioritizing professional development investments, and translating findings into role-based learning paths.

I work with organizations and the communities they serve to design programs around clear outcomes and build evaluation plans that demonstrate results to funders, boards, and stakeholders. Measures of success are defined in partnership, so that community values and credible evidence support each other. This work applies to training programs, services, and community initiatives, and draws on my background in evaluation, learning analytics, and continuous improvement.

Typical engagements: developing an evaluation plan, selecting appropriate measures, and reporting outcomes to funders or boards.

I provide applied research support, including survey development, study design, data collection and analysis, and research ethics review. I have completed IRB review independently across three studies and many more as part of research teams, co-authored peer-reviewed publications, and managed multi-site research operations.

Typical engagements: designing a survey or study, analyzing results, and preparing findings for reporting or publication.

I advise on competency-based micro-credentials, including badges, certificates, and CEUs, and on accreditation applications for training providers. I led the accreditation effort that made the Massachusetts Library System the first state library system in the country to earn IACET accreditation, and I serve on national task forces focused on open digital credentials and artificial intelligence in continuing education.

Typical engagements: planning a credential program, aligning offerings with continuing education standards, and preparing an IACET accreditation application.

I consult on learning management system selection, implementation, and governance. I built and manage a statewide Moodle platform offering more than 400 courses, supported by WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards, content templates, and quality review cycles.

Typical engagements: selecting a platform, improving an existing implementation, and establishing governance and accessibility standards.
