About Me

About Me

I have always been curious about how knowledge moves — through relationships, everyday practices, stories, and collective reflection.

Over the past two decades I have worked across academia, philanthropy, and civil society, accompanying organizations and movements as they navigate uncertainty, complexity, and change. My grounding is in feminist and decolonial approaches, shaped by long-term collaborations in South and Central Asia, Africa, and global feminist networks.

As Co-Lead for Learning & Evaluation at Fenomenal Funds, I helped co-create frameworks that valued trust, resilience, and field-building — recognising that not all impact can be captured through linear indicators. Today, as an independent consultant, I support funders, feminist funds, and social justice organizations to design evaluations that explore contribution rather than attribution, and to build learning spaces that foster honesty, curiosity, and shared responsibility.

My work weaves together:
  • Feminist evaluation and participatory learning
  • Contribution and pathways analysis in complex systems
  • Emergent learning strategies and reflective spaces
  • Knowledge generation that challenges extractive research cultures

I believe evaluation can be a site of accompaniment — a place where we listen carefully, make sense together, and strengthen the ecosystems that sustain social change.
