We’re thrilled to introduce Dr. Taylor Kidd, the newest member of our EVALCORP team!
As a Research Associate, Taylor contributes to a range of evaluation, needs assessment, and strategic planning projects. She brings nearly a decade of experience in conducting evaluation studies and applied research, with expertise in project design, implementation, analysis, and translating data into actionable insights. Taylor plays an essential role in ensuring our work is delivered with integrity, on time, and aligned with client needs.
Join us in giving Taylor a warm welcome and read on to learn some fun facts about her and what she brings to our team!
- If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
- Taylor: Pizza! There’s no such thing as a bad pizza. There are endless options with toppings, sauces, crusts, and styles. Plus, it can be eaten hot or cold. It’s the perfect meal!
- What everyday activity would you win a gold medal in if it were suddenly an Olympic event and why?
- Taylor: Waking up when my alarm goes off. I may get out of bed without hitting snooze, but that doesn’t mean I’m fully alert until I’ve had coffee.
- What most excites you about joining EVC team and why?
- Taylor: I am most excited about the opportunity to partner with communities! I appreciate the chance to learn about all of the important and diverse work being done in communities. I am eager to work with the caring and dedicated team at EVC to support clients who are invested in providing effective programs, practices, and initiatives to address complex issues in our society.
- What skill are you most excited about sharing with our clients, team, and communities?
- Taylor: I look forward to utilizing my critical thinking skills to advance collaborative efforts with clients, colleagues, and community members in pursuit of a common goal. I approach projects from an analytical standpoint, gathering available facts and information while seeking to understand and incorporate the insights and perspectives of others. I strive to create a collaborative environment while delivering detailed and responsive results that advance progress and meet the needs of clients and communities.
We’re excited to have Taylor on the team—she’s already added so much value to our work with her community-focused approach to consulting, and we look forward to the continued impact of her contributions!
