About
Laura Keene
Hi! I’m Laura, Owner and Principal at Keene Insights. I've been an evaluation and learning specialist for more than twenty years and have worked in a variety of fields including education, public health, health care, and social services. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from UC Berkeley and a Master of Public Health from Columbia University.
I also have the great joy of working with amazing collaborators who continue to support and challenge me: Melinda Stylos-Allan, Becca Carsel, and Amanda Welsh.
Outside of work, I love adventuring with my hubby and my two girls and crafting up a storm.
Approach
We strive to keep people at the center of decision-making. Who needs the data? What's meaningful to them? Who are we gathering data from? How can we gather data in a way that reinforces-rather than undermines-our relationships?
Lately, we've been inspired by arts-based methods like drawing and photography to prompt rich conversations and make space for the diverse ways people express themselves and understand the world.
We’ve had the privilege of working with thoughtful and passionate people from organizations like:
