Natalie Schock, PhD
Helping research & technical teams thrive in an age of accountability

The 2025 federal changes to research and social programs will change science and service for decades. Long-term outcomes are unknown, but, no matter what, teams will be held to higher standards of accountability and transparency. 

​

I'm here to help. I’m an independent consultant who specializes in 1. leadership and operations support for research and technical teams, 2. mixed methods program evaluation, and 3. technical assistance for human-serving programs. 

 

I serve for-profit, nonprofit, higher education, government, and district clients. I have 17 years of experience in human capital development, including a PhD from Johns Hopkins University, an "everything" role at an edtech startup, a postdoctoral fellowship in learning research, and service in Teach for America and AmeriCorps.
