On Working at FSG
"Several years ago I made a commitment to myself to seek employment opportunities that align my professional interests with my personal values. When I joined FSG in 2008, I could not have found a more fitting organization to work for. My role as Manager of Business Development enables me to work with my colleagues across the firm and across issue areas. The spectrum of projects I’m involved with range from organizational capacity building to innovative research to new firm initiatives like the Strategic Learning and Evaluation Center. Each project offers a new opportunity to promote the innovative and meaningful work of the firm. Simply put, I am at FSG because my position meets my professional interests, the work we do as a firm focuses on issues I care about, and the firm culture allows me the balance of a satisfying personal life."
