Hello, I'm
Brian Cesario
Researcher and Program Impact Evaluator
About
MY BACKGROUND
I bring a unique lens to my work as a researcher, bridging traditional research and evaluation strategies with contemporary agile methodologies. Collectively, this allows me to apply a creative angle to my research designs while relying on many of the tried-and-true approaches. As an impact evaluator, I draw on my unique background in applied methodology, organizational psychology, and education to craft compelling stories of program efficacy and effectiveness for stakeholders.
​
I'm a firm believer that anything can be made better, and my motto is, "if it ain't broke, fix it anyway!".
