Associate Director

I've been working as a facilitator and evaluator for over 15 years, in a wide range of contexts, including horticulture, sustainability and financial literacy. I work at Rooftop Social with Duncan Rintoul and a team of associates from around Australia, on evaluation capability building programs with NGOs and government organisations. Prior this role, I worked for the State government in Victoria. I am passionate about using creative techniques to engage people with technical content and with each other. I also regularly deliver training courses for the AES, on commissioning evaluations, facilitation and evaluation capacity building. You can follow me on Twitter: @vanessahood20
