At NORC, Hannah’s work on the USAID/Ukraine Monitoring and Learning Support contract has included indicator data quality assessments and reviews of activity MEL plans. She managed a task under the Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance Learning, Evaluation, and Research (DRG-LER) II Activity to produce tools to track the implementation of USAID’s Policy on Promoting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (PRO-IP), and she developed monitoring indicators and learning questions to that end.

Within the Latin America & Caribbean Learning and Rapid Response activity, she served as task lead and author of the MEL Practitioner Guide on Engagement and Inclusion of Indigenous Peoples and Afro-Descendants in Theory of Change Design.

As a consultant with the World Bank’s Poverty and Inequality Practice in the East Asia and Pacific region, she co-authored a report on women’s economic empowerment in the Philippines and conducted quantitative analysis for several projects. Additionally, she has provided graduate-level support for MEL activities in Vietnam—where she supported Social Impact’s USAID/Vietnam Learns program—and Uganda, where she reworked the theory of change and designed a M&E system for local NGO, The Recreation Project.
