I am a Chicago-based nonprofit consultant. I hold a Ph.D. from Emory University in Sociology. My professional and academic work centers on nonprofit/non-governmental organizations. Professionally I focus on survey research, program evaluation, design, and improvement in the U.S. nonprofit sector. Academically I focus on how internationally oriented nongovernmental organizations (international NGO’s, or INGO’s) and the institutions of religion and human rights intersect in the context of globalization.
