My professional passion is helping service-oriented organizations make better decisions through the use of data and evidence-based practices. Over the past 10 years, I have done this in academic settings where I published peer-reviewed research in social psychology and public health; the non-profit sector where I conducted evaluations of programs and made recommendations for improvements; and in granting agencies and foundations where I helped make the most efficient use of philanthropic dollars to maximize outcomes for those served. 

Personally, my passions are my husband, brilliant scientist Bob Spunt, my two dogs, travel, singing, and learning something new every day.

I am working as a Program Officer in the US Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. See my resume for more information.

Since 2010, I have worked with a variety of clients - from students to faculty to Executive Directors - to help them with their data and evaluation needs. For more information, please visit my consulting page.
