About Me

Researcher, strategist and systems thinker.

I'm a researcher and strategist with nine years of experience working across government, healthcare and Indigenous governance.

I'm currently taking on a small number of new engagements. If you're building something that matters, I'd like to hear about it.

What I Do

Four disciplines. One through-line: turning evidence into impact.

01Grant Writing & Strategy

Compelling proposals that secure funding and articulate impact with precision. From concept development through submission — logic models, budget justification, partner coordination, and narrative writing that moves decision-makers.
02Program Evaluation

Rigorous assessment frameworks that honour community context and generate actionable evidence. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches tailored to the program and the people it serves.
03Strategic Communications

Research-backed messaging that translates complexity into ideas that move people to act. Policy briefs, executive summaries, public-facing reports, and stakeholder presentations.
04Research & Analysis

Qualitative and quantitative insights connecting evidence to policy and organizational practice. OCAP®-aligned data governance, literature reviews, landscape analyses, and primary research design.

Thinking

Essays, briefs and commentary.

Writing coming soon.

Approach

Systems thinking.
Human scale.

Every complex problem has a simple story underneath it. I find that story — and then I help organizations tell it in a way that drives real change.
