I help organizations move from data collection to decision-making.

By bridging research, measurement, and content expertise, I turn complex data into actionable insights that guide programs, inform stakeholders, and support real-world impact.

Services

Let’s work together to put data into action.

MEASUREMENT STRATEGY

Choosing the things to measure shouldn’t be a guessing game. I’ll help your team design frameworks that link programs, research, and organizational goals, so your data can guide decisions.

DATA INTERPRETATION & INSIGHTS

Drowning in a sea of data points? I’ll review your assessments and program data, translating numbers into clear, actionable insights that inform leadership, funders, and program teams.

RESEARCH-TO-ACTION ADVISING

Hey there! I’m Chelsea!

Many mission-driven organizations have strong content expertise and robust data — clinicians, educators, and program teams who understand the work, and data teams who can analyze it — but what’s often missing is someone who connects the two.

That’s where I come in.

I help organizations turn research and program data into actionable insights, designing measurement frameworks, reviewing outcomes, and translating results into decisions that guide action. I also partner with teams on research-informed communication, creating blogs, guides, white papers, and other content that translates complex findings into clear, compelling messages.
