What our clients say.
‘Catherine was incredibly professional, provided an exceptional framework and has a great collaborative work style. In addition, she took the time to deeply understand the project, which was quite layered, and in doing so, catered her advice accordingly. I see this as a great strength in her evaluation work. On top of that, Catherine is compassionate, empathetic and a great listener, which are positive attributes that enrich collaborative work. I would recommend her as an evaluator 1000 times, particularly to any organisations needing a professional evaluator for culturally diverse programs.’
