I have 14 years of combined evaluation and research experience, primarily in the areas of institutional performance assessment and peacebuilding. My work has involved a wide range of services, including the design and implementation of evaluations, performance monitoring frameworks, and institutional assessments for bilateral and multilateral development agencies, as well as international non-governmental organizations. Recent experience includes supporting the development of the Multilateral Performance Assessment Network’s (MOPAN) new methodology; leading the machine-learning component of an evaluation of Norway’s approach to cross-cutting issues for Norad; and leading the design of an evidence management facility for a system-wide evaluation of the UN’s approach to supporting key transitions.
Where possible, I seek to adopt mixed-methods approaches to my consultancy work by drawing on extensive experience in qualitative data collection and analysis, as well as advanced training in various statistical modelling techniques. I have a keen interest in increasing the depth and utility of monitoring frameworks by developing categorical indicators to systematically measure complex and multidimensional concepts. I aim to convey evidence, analysis, and recommendations in a transparent, accessible, and context-sensitive manner.
I hold a PhD in Politics from the University of Glasgow. My research, funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council, focused on political instability in post-civil war environments.
