Consulting
Consulting & advisory
I work with school boards, ministries, multilateral organisations, and higher-ed institutions on educational research and assessment, program and curriculum evaluation, equity-driven policy and practice, and the responsible use of generative AI in teaching and learning.

Each engagement is shaped to the institution's context. The through-line is rigorous, justice-oriented research and practice that institutions can actually use.

GenAI in classroom assessment
Practitioner training and policy guidance on the responsible use of generative AI in assessment design, feedback, and grading.
Justics-oriented survey and instrument validation
Developing and validating surveys, scales, and measurement tools in culturally responsive ways to ensure they accurately measure intended constructs and produce reliable, meaningful, and unbiased results across diverse populations.
Workplace Assessment and Evaluation
Designing and evaluating workplace assessments, training programs, and performance measurement processes to support professional growth, organizational effectiveness, and evidence-informed decision-making in diverse workplace settings.
Education and Social Policy Research
Conducting educational and social research to inform policy, support equity, and drive evidence-based decision-making and meaningful community impact
