”Elidé is brilliant and wonderful to work with--an expert evaluator, an excellent listener, and the consummate professional focused on equity and inclusion. In my work with Elidé, she not only applies best practices in quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods; she not only delivers work of the highest quality on time; Elidé has also consistently been a strategic thought partner--clarifying end goals and aligning on the best path to achieve those goals, always in a way that is values-aligned, accessible, and equity-centered. I highly recommend working with Elidé.”

“Eli is a skilled evaluator and approaches her work with authentic curiosity. She’s relatable in how she engages with clients and the communities she works in. Her interview and facilitation skills are grounded in empathy and helps her connect and foster relationships with different stakeholder groups. So much of culturally responsive evaluation has to do with understanding, being able to relate to, empathize with, and listen to others whose experiences and world views may be different from your own. I saw these attributes in Eli.”

“Elidé is the perfect combination of strategic, big-picture thinker, project manager, and technical analyst. She can design an overall approach that's responsive to the explicit and unspoken needs of a partner all while thinking through project details so the work goes smoothly. In our collaborations, Elidé has taught me much that has helped me both in my race equity journey and practice of evaluation and I look forward to learning even more from her as we continue partnering!”
