Opportunity Analytics helps mission-driven education organizations translate complex data into actionable strategy so more underserved learners reach their full potential.
Founder and principal consultant at Opportunity Analytics. 20+ years spanning the full education ecosystem — from classroom teacher to national policy leader.
I started my career working directly with students and that grounding in what classrooms actually look like and what learners really need has shaped every role since. Whether leading data strategy for the nation's largest school information platform, helping foundations design smarter investments, or building solutions for addressing organizational data challenges and getting to quicker insights, I've always worked at the intersection of rigorous analysis and practical action.
Opportunity Analytics brings that experience directly to mission-driven organizations wrestling with hard questions about equity, data, and strategy. I specialize in making complex data intelligible and actionable for the people closest to the work.
I work with foundations, nonprofits, and education organizations on projects that require both analytical depth and strategic judgment. Engagements range from discrete research projects to longer-term embedded partnerships.
Quantitative and qualitative research, program evaluation, literature reviews, and methodological critique. I translate findings into formats that inform real decisions and actions.
Data governance, system design, and infrastructure planning for organizations that need to get more from their data. Includes vendor selection, technical specifications, and building internal capacity.
Portfolio strategy, investment frameworks, and implementation roadmaps for foundations and nonprofits. I help organizations move from diagnosis to decisions — with clear accountability and adaptation built in.
Statistical analysis, dashboards, and data visualization that make complex education data accessible to diverse audiences.
Design and facilitation of research convenings, focus groups, and learning sessions. I help organizations surface practitioner knowledge and connect it to evidence in ways that build shared understanding.
Codifying organizational knowledge, building learning systems, and creating frameworks that help teams act on what they know. Particularly valuable for foundations managing complex multi-year portfolios.
I take on a limited number of engagements at a time to ensure I can give each client the focus they deserve. If you're working on something in education equity, data strategy, or research — I'd like to hear about it.
