Work with Nicole: Monitoring & Evaluation

You know your work matters. You see the impact in real time—but translating that into learning, alignment, and accountability isn’t always easy, especially when you’re under pressure to “prove” outcomes to funders and stakeholders.

That’s where I come in. I partner with organizations that are ready to move beyond survival-mode data collection toward evaluation that’s meaningful, manageable, and mission-aligned. Together, we design learning approaches that reflect your values, center the people you serve, and support both reflection and action.

You don’t need to justify your work—you need space to understand it, improve it, and own the story it tells.

Ready to make your data work for you—not just your funders?

What It Is:

Monitoring and evaluation is more than reporting outcomes—it’s a chance to reflect, learn, and realign. I support organizations in designing and implementing equity-centered monitoring and evaluation strategies that prioritize learning, accountability, and community voice. Whether you’re building a new framework or refining existing tools, I help you use data to deepen your impact—not just check a box.

How I Work:

I approach evaluation as a process of shared reflection and sense-making. I partner with organizations that want to understand what’s working, what’s missing, and what comes next—not just what looks good on paper. My work is grounded in Reproductive Justice, participatory methods, and an understanding that data must serve the people doing the work and those most impacted by it.

Monitoring and evaluation shouldn’t feel extractive—it should feel clarifying, affirming, and useful.

What This Can Include:

  • Designing a learning-focused M&E strategy or framework

  • Conducting culturally responsive or participatory evaluation activities

  • Facilitating internal reflection sessions using existing or emerging data

  • Creating user-friendly tools for tracking, analysis, or storytelling

  • Aligning your evaluation approach with funder requirements without losing your mission

  • Tools and approaches are always tailored to your context, timeline, and team capacity.

Ideal Fit:

This service is a good fit if your organization:

  • Wants to move beyond compliance-driven data collection

  • Is curious about how to integrate evaluation into day-to-day learning and planning

  • Needs support designing or refining your evaluation tools or frameworks

  • Values equity, reflection, and transparency in how success is defined and measured

  • Is ready to engage in the process—not just receive a report
