I am a senior evaluator, researcher and project manager with 10+ years’ experience working with public and private sector agencies. In addition to my workshop topic (incorporating big/open data into evaluation design and implementation), you can also talk to me about cultural competency; inclusion and diversity practices; emotional intelligence; intrinsic/extrinsic motivation and its applications; project management; the ups and downs of consultancy work; and meaning-making in our careers. Those are just the professional topics - also happy to discuss the healing properties of cats, music, knitting, world travel and whatever else comes to mind.
