ABOUT KRISTIN HELZ
I\'m a research and evaluation specialist with experience in the non-profit sector, both in the U.S. and internationally. I’ve led internal and external evaluations, including multi-country studies, always with a focus on learning that leads to better outcomes for affected populations and their communities.My approach to evaluation is rooted in collaboration, shared learning, and the belief that those closest to the work should have a voice in shaping the questions, interpreting the findings, and driving decisions. Above all, I’m committed to using data and research to support mission-driven teams, helping them grow and adapt through continuous learning and data-driven decision-making, while also telling their story of change and impact for the communities they serve.
