I work with clients to identify the deliverables best aligned to their goals.

  • Articles

    I develop angles, pitch to media outlets, and research and write articles that offer new perspectives, share research findings, and advocate for change.

  • Case studies

    I conduct interviews and other research activities to produce case studies to share with the broader public, sharing challenges along with successes.

  • Communications strategies

    I produce communications strategies for individual projects and across organizations. These plans are designed in collaboration with clients and respond directly to client goals.

  • Papers and reports

    I produce both public-facing and proprietary papers and reports that present analyses of research, that offer bold visions for change, and that suggest recommendations based on research findings.

  • Presentations and facilitated sessions

    I present research findings and analyses, both internally and publicly. I also facilitate sessions to engage stakeholders around research in order to spur plans for further action.

  • Toolkits

    I draw on research about what practices and processes are most effective to produce toolkits for specific stakeholder groups intent on change.

I offer a full suite of research services and employ a variety of research methods.

  • Research design

    Good research leads with good questions and a methodology that can provide answers to those questions. I work with clients to develop research approaches and plan deliverables that respond to their goals and resources.

  • Research subject recruitment

    Research should be a tool for lifting up the communities that we hope to serve. I work with clients to get outside of their personal networks, to recruit research subjects from the communities that they are hoping to engage.

  • Research methodologies

    I execute on research plans using a variety of qualitative and mixed-method approaches, including interviews, focus groups, surveys, literature reviews, and content analyses. I work collaboratively with clients on protocols and adjusting research parameters and approaches to respond to challenges.

  • Research consulting

    I consult with organizations on research projects conducted in-house. I work with organizations to develop research questions that advance their goals, and then help design approaches to meet those goals. I help with analysis and recommendations.

  • Research-informed deliverables

    I work with clients to identify and produce the deliverables that are best aligned with their research goals. These deliverables include workshops for internal teams, articles tailored to specific audiences, and toolkits for practitioners, among others.

  • Research connections

    I sit at the intersection of different groups that aren’t always in contact with one another: practitioners, product developers, funders, and nonprofit leaders, among them. I broker connections between these groups both while conducting research and while sharing that research.

I offer a full suite of writing and communications services.

  • Actionable insights

    I believe that research should be actionable. I analyze research elements to generate findings and recommendations. I produce reports, case studies, engagement sessions, toolkits, papers, and other materials that meet my clients’ needs.

  • External engagement

    I work with organizations to share what they are learning with the broader public. I conduct internal listening sessions to surface insights, pitch article ideas to the media, and take articles from conceptualization to draft to publication.

  • Communications consulting

    I help organizations create communications strategies for their policy work, including developing communications goals and trackable metrics for success. I help develop plans for leveraging media, conferences, and sector relationships to publicize positions and advocate for change.

My research and writing is driven by my values and beliefs.
