Violence prevention and research consultant developing evaluation frameworks and guidance on online harms.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
As an independent consultant, I design research frameworks and evaluation methods for projects addressing violence prevention, online harms, and systemic barriers. One evaluation led to a knowledge-exchange webinar series with people with lived experience of trafficking, frontline workers, government representatives, and other stakeholders, with over 2,000 participants. I contributed to trauma-informed research and authored reports on systemic barriers to addressing gender-based violence, including a parallel report submitted to the United Nations Beijing +25.
