Let's work together to make meaningful change.
I partner with foundations and nonprofits to help define clear and measurable goals so everyone is aligned, outcomes can be measured, and you can tell the story of the difference you make.
I have a PhD in Social Science Research from UCLA, where I also work as a research data analyst.

I'm here to help you design and deliver an evaluation (or evaluation policy!) that gives you meaningful, actionable information.
My family immigrated to America in 1991 from Belarus. Nonprofits, social service agencies, foundations, and government programs made a real difference in my life. I've seen what these programs look like when they work well — and I know what's at stake when they don't.
Later, working inside the nonprofit sector myself, I partnered with an evaluator who helped me measure and clarify the impact I was trying to make. It streamlined my work and gave me focus — suddenly I could tell the story of what we were doing and show that it mattered. That clarity is what I strive to bring to every organization I work with.
I've been doing this since 2015, I hold a PhD in the field, and I've worked with dozens of clients. I'd love the opportunity to work with you.

Now Building
An interactive tool that turns a 75+ library of evaluation policies into a searchable, comparable resource. Through PolicyCoder, practitioners can browse various evaluation policies and learn from them. Launching October 2026.
My academic research looks at how evaluation actually happens in practice: evaluation policy across the philanthropic sector, how US foundations spend on evaluation, and the federal evaluation market. I also write on evaluation theory, and earlier research looked closely at the experience of foster youth.
