From 2015 to 2019, I served as the Chief Research Quality Officer at Forcier Consulting; since 2019 I have been the Director of Research at Consilient, based in Hargeisa, Somaliland. In both roles, my research has focused on quasi-experimental impact evaluations of education programs and political/conflict analysis, though I have also conducted studies of WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), resilience/livelihoods, health and other programming.
This page lists only those projects on which I was either the primary or a contributing author, organized by thematic area. For a full list of all projects, including those where I served as a methodological advisor or research manager, please see my consulting CV.
