Data that moves public health forward.

Community health assessments, geospatial analysis, and survey research, built to be understood, acted on, and funded. Public health is the focus; the methods travel to any field where the data’s messy and the stakes are real.

How the work runs

Four stages, one loop.

Every engagement follows the same cycle, because good public health data isn’t a one-time deliverable, it’s a system you keep coming back to.

01

Assess

Define the question, pull the right data, and map what the community is actually facing: CASPER, surveillance, surveys.

02

Visualize

Turn it into maps and figures a coalition, a commissioner, or a grant reviewer can read in ten seconds.

03

Act

Translate findings into goals, targets, and geographies: the piece that actually goes into an application or a plan.

04

Evaluate

Track whether it worked, and feed that back into the next assessment. The loop closes.

What I do

Analytics for people who have to make the case.

Independent, senior-level analysis without the overhead of a large firm, priced and scoped for county health departments, coalitions, and grant-funded programs.

Community Health Assessments

CHNAs and CNAs end to end: CASPER surveys, secondary data, bilingual instruments, and a report your board will actually cite.

Geospatial Analysis

Access and equity mapping, hot-spot detection, and corridor analysis in ArcGIS: spatial questions answered with spatial methods.

Research & Evaluation

Mixed-methods research and program evaluation , qualitative and quantitative, from study design through the finding that changes a decision.

Survey Design & Analysis

Instrument design through analysis in Survey123, SAS, and R: from a 10-question pulse to an 80-item needs assessment.

Dashboards & Data Products

Interactive dashboards and explorers that let stakeholders find their own answers, not static PDFs that sit in a drawer.

Grant Data Support

The needs statement, the data, and the SMART goals that make a proposal competitive. See the tools below.

Grant tools

Start with the tools. Call when it gets real.

Built for grant writers and coalition staff: pull the data, draft the goals, pressure-test the application. Then, when the assessment is bigger than a cheat sheet, you already know who to call.

Grant Review Assistant

Score a draft against real review criteria, get a revision plan, and a go / no-go verdict before you submit.

Let’s scope it

Have a question your data should be able to answer?

Assessments, maps, surveillance, or grant support: tell me what you’re up against and I’ll tell you whether I’m the right fit.
