About Emily Goff
I earned my PhD in Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development from the University of Minnesota, where I built expertise in education, workforce development, and evaluation. As an external evaluator and technical consultant for projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I learn from and share evaluation best practices across diverse teams and agencies.
