MY
WORK
CASE STUDIES
My partnership with the Innovative Finance Team transformed the way they reported impact data for their Zero Gap Fund 2022 and 2023 impact reports. In addition to managing, analyzing and visualizing their data, I coordinated with report writers and designers. I also helped strengthen their Impact Management & Measurement (IMM) approach and made recommendations.
I am partnering with Google's Health Equity team to support the design of an evaluation framework and toolkit to assess and quantify the presence of harmful biases within large language models (LLMs) used in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, with the ultimate goal of advancing solutions that promote health equity.
Supporting new leadership, I facilitated a strategic refinement process for the Aspen Institute’s Global Innovators Group which included prioritizing strategic decisions, articulating shifts through compelling visuals and narrative, and designing a new Theory of Change. The resulting ecosystem unifies community and local leadership to catalyze innovations for decolonizing global health, and was presented by the Executive Director onstage at the 2022 Aspen Ideas Festival: Health.
Working with Developing World Markets' head of impact, I designed and conducted an analysis of the firm's bespoke impact assessment tool, leveraging multiple years of data , and prepared an internal report with data visuals, insights, and recommendations for DWM which has made over $2.7B loans in over 60 emerging and frontier markets.

I partnered with this Fortune 50's foundation and corporate giving teams to help reimagine their philanthropic strategy , solidifying a Theory of Change and impact measurement framework.. I also helped enhance a systematic approach to measuring progress toward impact goals.
In 2019, I supported a major transformation for this organization which funds global grassroots women-led organizations leading economic advancement for women. This yielded a new model, name, and significant organizational changes. I designed a new Theory of Change, created a measurement framework, developed and helped implement a grantee reporting approach, supported visualization of results, and conducted multiple learning exercises with grantees.
In 2019, I designed a new Theory of Change, grant application and reporting forms, and measurement framework for DDCF’s Child Well-being Program, helping the organization reimagine over $15 million in annual grants with deeper community engagement and leadership development.
I facilitated a strategic refinement process for Regeneron's corporate social responsibility function, conducting a landscape scan and internal interviews, and scenario-mapping strategic directions. This work has supported the company in further focusing over $18M of corporate giving toward access to STEM opportunities, and enabled the team to explore new opportunities for corporate giving that leverage core company strengths.
I helped refine this company's Impact Measurement & Management (IMM) framework for their pioneering impact investing fund, creating a clear conceptualization of impact, embedding it in tools for impact screening and due diligence, and supporting implementation.
