“The report went considerably beyond my greatest expectations. Much
of the challenge in our working with external evaluators is that
we don't fit into any easy categories. You understood that
and you truly understood us and what we are trying to accomplish.
This is rare and your knowledge of our work is something that we
can build upon. We look forward to the next opportunity when we
can work together.”
Neal Richman, Director UCLA Center for Neighborhood Knowledge
“Our agency was working on a very short deadline to develop and
produce a handbook to assist professionals in providing culturally-competent
services to African American caregivers. Miki was quickly able
to identify the key issues that needed to be addressed in order
for us to create a book that would be effective and useful. She
helped design a survey instrument to collect the data, conduct
focus groups, skillfully analyze and synthesize the information,
and produce a report that had depth, clarity and insight.”
“Thanks to her abilities and expertise, we were successfully able
to publish Helping You to Help: A Service Provider's Guide
to Helping African American Caregivers in Los Angeles County,
on time and within budget.”

“It’s critical to have evaluation by folks like yourself. Most consultants specialize in one area, such as strategic planning, program development, etc., but you conducted a retrospective that looked broadly at our history as an organization, and comprehensively at organization-wide issues in a holistic manner. This was helpful to us in assessing our current situation, and weighing different aspects of our organization’s future direction.”
