Evaluating programs that make a difference
Examples of Past Clients
I have worked with a range of mission-driven nonprofit organizations, foundations, universities, and public agencies.
What my clients and collaborators have to say:
“Maggie is the easiest and most pleasant person I’ve ever had the honor to work with. High integrity, attention to detail, amazing follow through, and a willingness to go above and beyond to optimize results are only a few of her attributes that I value most. If you want the job to be done right and done well, Maggie should be your top choice for evaluation.”
Jeanette Holtham, President/Founder, Youth Transformation Center
“I’ve had the pleasure to collaborate with Maggie as a subcontractor several times. One of our projects was statewide evaluation of Colorado’s early childhood education expansion–a complex, high-stakes project with real consequences for communities across the state. Throughout that process, Maggie’s methodological seriousness stood out. She understands that data holds both power and risk, and she brings that care to every design decision, from how data is collected to how findings are ultimately communicated to the people who need to act on them. Her contributions to our shared work produced a more credible evaluation, with meaningful findings that were parsed and presented in ways that actually made sense to target audiences. If you’re looking for an evaluator who will tell you what the data actually says—and ensure that the process is worthy of the people it is designed to serve–Maggie is the person for that work.”
