I am an evaluation officer in the central evaluation unit of the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. Prior to this, I worked in the central evaluation unit of the Department of the Environment and Energy. While I moved from one central evaluation unit to another, my day-to-day role as an evaluator has changed considerably.
