“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.”
