Testimonials

Belin is both a creative and diligent evaluator. She constantly sought out ways her skills and ideas could enhance our project. She is a robust thinker whose adaptability in data management regularly resulted in new and useful ways to both qualify and showcase our work.

I had the pleasure of working with Belin over the course of two years and I found her to be responsive and knowledgeable. She was easy to work with and quickly grasped needs and ways to obtain the data that was being requested. She was also extremely effective in reporting this data in ways that everyone would understand. It was a pleasure working with Belin and I look forward to finding ways to do so again in the future.

It has been my pleasure to work with Belin for several years. Her breadth of experience and knowledge about the evaluation of trainings is remarkable. Belin is facile with data collection protocols, practices and best practices in various media. She has consistently provided good advice on the design and implementation of various evaluation instruments for us (whether paper or electronic). Additionally, she is experienced with the collation and analysis of data. Belin has also been a good resource for referrals to others with particular expertise in various areas of data collection and analysis. Belin has very well developed team building and leadership skills that have enabled very diverse team members (geographically and by backgrounds) to collaborate on projects- a task akin to “herding cats remotely via web conferencing!” She truly listens and facilitates consensus. Any endeavor involving the collection and analysis of data will be well served by having Belin at the helm.

Working with Belin was a pleasure. Belin always brought a practical and pragmatic approach to our efforts and served as a fantastic resource for our center. A unique asset she brought to the table was her ability to translate national objectives to the local level and give our local performance sites concrete practices and techniques to perform their best. Belin was also more than willing to jump in and help when I had a question or resource need – that teamwork and attitude was invaluable. She brings a great combination of knowledge and skills to program evaluation, and I would certainly recommend Belin, without hesitation.

I’ve worked with Belin on a few projects, and found that she really knows her stuff. We had to develop plans for an evaluation, and a logic model and she was very thoughtful about them and created a terrific work plan. Plus, she’s a really nice person to boot. So I highly recommend her if you are looking for some evaluation help.

Belin is a talented researcher, evaluator, and strategist who is easy to work with and gets results. She skillfully directed a national evaluation center for over 10 years; I was the PI of the center during her tenure and can vouch for her leadership, management, and research skills. She was an asset in gaining buy-in on national evaluations, plus her strong quantitative and qualitative skills enhanced our ability to readily apply rigorous methods to our work. She produced quality data visuals and narratives to communicate findings to a variety of audiences, including those with little research knowledge. After launching her own business, I brought her on to consult on the development and teaching of an online graduate course for program evaluation. She’s served as an instructor for the course for the past four years and mentors domestic and international students on their local evaluations. Her involvement greatly improved the course and increased student engagement. Belin brings many qualities to the table, most impactful being her ability to listen and incorporate different perspectives into a shared vision. I’d definitely work with her again and can’t recommend her enough!

Belin is very methodical about creating a system to gather the appropriate metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of a program. She worked with me every step of the way. Belin is an excellent communicator, very talented, and friendly. It was a wonderful experience and I give her the highest recommendation!
