Services
"Data and analytics" is not an end in and of itself - it's a means to an end, and it's only helpful when it's contextualized and grounded in the work and makes sense to the people doing the work.
I bridge the gap between behind-the-scenes technical work and facilitation of cross-functional meetings to advance high-stakes strategy. I have expertise across the full suite of data and data fluency services, whether you need someone to analyze inequities in student outcomes data or co-create and build buy-in around a process to set and monitor progress against organizational goals and objectives.
Here are some of the ways I support my clients (sample portfolio):
