Melanie Espino

Melanie thrives at helping groups and teams improve, including improving nonprofit services through solid program evaluations, improvement in organizational functioning using proven strategic planning methods, and community improvement informed by assessment and participatory research.

Melanie recently earned a graduate certificate in Learning & Organizational Change from Northwestern University. Melanie’s specific content expertise includes older adults, early childhood development, and issues that affect immigrants and Latinos, which she developed in her years as a program evaluator and by doing community assessments.

Jen van Stelle Brozzo, Ph.D.

The moment of discovery – the “aha” of an insight – is what underlies Jen’s passion for research. She finds satisfaction in being able to translate those research-based insights into real-world ideas that all audiences can understand, and to help people determine how to apply those insights so that they and their organizations can work better, smarter, and more effectively.

Jen has specific content expertise in youth development and higher education, including the evaluation of college access and STEM enrichment programs for underrepresented youth. She is also experienced in program evaluation for other content areas and in community assessment. Currently, Jen is taking courses for a graduate certificate in Diversity, Social Justice, and Inclusion from the University of Colorado.
