Independent psychometric and assessment advisory
I help licensure, certification, and clinical outcomes programs build validity, fairness, and research evidence that holds up to boards, regulators, and courts. Hands-on psychometric work and senior advisory, from someone who has done both where the stakes are highest.

When organizations call me
What I do
A second set of expert eyes on your scoring, equating, validity evidence, and vendor claims, before a board, accreditor, or court asks. I work alongside your current vendor, not in place of it.
Standard setting, job analysis, technical reports, fairness and DIF studies, COA validation, and operational surge support. I do the analyses myself.
Research agendas, governance, and fractional psychometric leadership for programs that need senior judgment without a full-time hire.
How we work together
Engagements range from focused, fixed-fee reviews to ongoing advisory relationships. Some organizations need a defined scope with a clear deliverable. Others benefit from a retained advisor present for the questions that arise between scheduled meetings. Either way, the work is calibrated to your context, not a standard package.
Let's find out if there's a fit.
