Working with Sara over the years has been a joy. The care, commitment, and skill she brings to her work shines through in every aspect. Her communication and approach strongly reflect her values and integrity. I am especially grateful for the thoughtful intention she brings to her evaluation's framing, planning, and delivery. Sara has worked with our team to co-create a unique evaluation strategy for projects and programs grounded in our organization's needs, experiences, and worldview. Her organization, dedication, and attention to detail are phenomenal, and her keen insight into our learning and growth processes has had a profound impact on our development as a new non-profit.

Sara was wonderful to work with. She is a strong listener, very perceptive, deeply thoughtful and asks great questions that helped to clarify our own thinking. She has a unique ability to work with a diverse range of people and perspectives, manage high volumes of work, and extract key insights from complex and varied inputs. To top it all off she is highly professional and communicative, respectful and takes pride in her work. We are grateful to have worked with her.

Sara is one of my favorite people to work with. I highly recommend her! Sara was a huge asset to every project we involved her in. I worked with Sara on a variety of community development evaluation and planning projects. She is able to quickly assess requirements and deliverables and present an array of suitable methodologies for client consideration.
Sara possesses the rare ability to work with a wide diversity of people, communities and organizations. She demonstrates caring, professionalism, curiosity, and respect through all of her work. In addition, Sara completed all projects on schedule, worked independently when needed, provided clear progress updates, and worked with our team to clarify questions and ensure we were comfortable and confident in her work.

Sara is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a great listener and is always finding ways to bring to life what you have in mind for your project. She works quickly and effectively, providing a steady, guiding backbone to your work, keeping tasks and ideas aligned with the project’s overarching goals and deliverables. She creates simple yet elegant designs that are accessible for any audience you serve. She is kind and thoughtful in her approach, and does appropriate research to ensure that all her work meets the mark, or more realistically - exceeds expectations!

We worked with Sara to undertake a 5-year evaluation of a complex, national program and she did an amazing job. She asked all the right questions, helped us focus our thinking, showed great sensitivity to participants, and navigated a ton of information to provide thoughtful insights and tangible recommendations – plus she was a pleasure to work with!

Someone reflecting on what you know so intimately – so useful. Sara is highly skilled, dedicated, and insightful. We would absolutely work with her again.

Sara is a pure delight to work with. She is responsible, accurate, a quick study, a great listener, and a constructive collaborator. She is especially skilled as an evaluation nerd, but with a real breadth of topical, cultural, and geographic nuance. She is great at evaluating grants data and deriving patterns of useful truth, and equally good at organization and the visual communication of complex information. I have deeply appreciated her versatility and responsiveness to every project I have thrown her way.

I had the opportunity to work with Sara over the last couple of years. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She is able to work with a diverse group of stakeholders and be able to adjust and be flexible.
Her work with us was complex due to the size of our collaboration and our various evaluation needs. Sara continued to be patient, inquisitive and solution focused. She was open to feedback and respected the process of collaboration. It has been a pleasure working with Sara!

I really enjoyed our workshop, it really was unique. The one I did with you was refreshing as I felt very heard and that my time was valued. I hope you continue to do work in this way as it’s so needed and necessary.
