Biography

When Rochelle discovered evaluation in 1994, she was immediately intrigued. Since then, she has been involved in over 150 applied research and evaluation projects and isn’t bored yet!

As a Credentialed Evaluator, Rochelle evaluates healthcare, education and economic development initiatives. She is a skilled analyst and has a knack for synthesizing findings from multiple sources into a meaningful story. She also contributes actively to the professional evaluation community as a presenter and mentor of new evaluators.

Rochelle loves to help organizations use data to build understanding, drive improvement, and communicate impact. She works with her clients to:

• Clarify their information needs
• Set up systems for capturing data
• Summarize and interpret data
• Use their data appropriately and effectively

Rochelle is a senior partner at Cathexis, a firm that specializes in evaluation. She has been instrumental in growing and developing the company. She also helped to establish (and then refine) the suite of metrics that the Cathexis team still uses to measure social impact and continuously improve their services.

When she’s not working, Rochelle is usually in her garden, on a bike, or adventuring with her boys.
