My recent work is as a program evaluator, facilitator, leadership and organizational coach with 13 years of experience as a consultant for nonprofits and donors, and an additional 14 years of NGO leadership experience in nonprofits, social enterprises, and foundations. This includes evaluations of Initiatives of Change’s Trustbuilding Programme, MCC’s program in Colombia and Ecuador, the Interpeace Peace Responsiveness Program and forumZFD’s Western Balkans Program and leading a team of researchers conducting a collaborative study on programmatic learning for the Knowledge Platform on Security and Rule of Law in the Hague. As a facilitator and process design consultant I’ve worked on strengthening civil society advocacy and broadening participation in public policy, with a focus on divided societies.
My training post-CJP was a Ph.D from Radboud University Nijmegen on the topic “Legitimacy and Civic Agency of Civil Society Actors in Bosnia-Herzegovina.” Recent publications include Improving Your Programmatic Learning Journey: A Resource Guide for HDP Nexus Practitioners (2025) and Good Public Participation Practices in Urban Planning (2023).
