I am a Consultant at IOD PARC with a background in social science research. I have worked in monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) roles for six years. I support IOD PARC’s work on evidence and learning partnerships as the Network Coordinator for a Learning Partnership Network of our staff and independent consultants, developing my experience with organisational development tools and accompaniment, stories of change, and reflective practice approaches. Since joining in 2023, I have contributed to consulting projects for a range of clients, including multilateral and bilateral agencies, philanthropic foundations, and INGOs such as the FCDO, the British Council, the IMF, the Metropolitan Arts Centre, and the British Embassy Kathmandu.
I am deeply curious about complex, intercultural issues, such as social inclusion, gender equity, decolonisation, and climate change. This curiosity compelled me to complete an M.A. in cultural anthropology with a focus on feminist NGOs and indigenous social movements in South America. Since then, I have worked as an internal evaluator for a local government agency, an external evaluator for a private consulting firm, and as an independent MEL consultant. Before joining IOD PARC, I managed a diverse portfolio of projects, including evaluations of education programmes for local education authorities and postsecondary institutions, as well as informal/learning programmes commissioned by government agencies (USDA, USDE, NASA). I am passionate about equitable evaluation practices, experienced with participatory methods that involve close collaboration and co-creation with stakeholders, and excited to partner with organisations that want to bring learning to the forefront of their social change work. Alongside my technical and people skills, I bring strong intercultural communication skills to my work, developed by living in five countries and speaking three languages.
