Kind Words

  • "I cannot say enough positive things about KaYing. She is brilliant, kind, and funny and will go the extra mile for you and your organization. KaYing is an experienced evaluator and uses research to encourage informed decision-making. She never asked anything of her colleagues that she wouldn’t ask of herself, and she motivated others to do their best work. Plus, she is hilarious, curious, and kind-hearted. I just adore KaYing. You will not be disappointed to have her on your team."

    Karen Baumgaertner, Co-Founder of the Minnesota International NGO Network

  • "I had the privilege of partnering with KaYing to support a collaboration of 10 nonprofits. KaYing's impressive planning, organizational skills, and facilitation approach ensured everyone's input was considered, leading to successful events and a collaborative workshop. She used methods to ensure everyone was actively engaged in the process, and as a result, participants responded positively to her approach. The outcome surpassed individual efforts, thanks to KaYing's thoughtful guidance. I highly value the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from KaYing. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her."

    Candise Miller, Executive Director at the Inclusa Foundation

  • “She proved her skills in creative and strategic thinking and problem solving over and over again. In each project she was involved in, she asked critical questions at the right time.”

    Becky Monnens, previously International Program Officer at the McKnight Foundation

  • "We were very happy with the quality of the research from KaYing and her colleagues, in addition to being very impressed with her ability to work and adapt on the fly in a very difficult working environment."

    Nate Knatterud-Hubinger, Executive Director at Mano a Mano International

  • "I am floored at how useful this is to my work. I was pretty straight forward at the start that 'I don't have time for evaluation', in my sort of tough-guy, over-worked, action-focused persona. But right away, the exercise on values cracked me open to the fact that I am sometimes judging others' work in ways that go against my values and against how I like people to judge my projects."

  • “Fantastic presentation, easy to follow, engaging and made me want to learn more. The session made me think about how I can potentially improve my office's storytelling.”

    WI Nonprofit Summit workshop attendee

  • "KaYing impressed me with her excellent team work skills, her sensitivity to complex social and political dynamics of international development work, her drive to learn more, and her initiative in seeking out new opportunities. I found working with KaYing a joy. She is hard working and ambitious for all her projects to be successful, but she is also fun to work with, easy going and kind to everyone around her. She is excellent at seeking the necessary information to start her work, and communicates quickly and clearly on all parts of the work."

    Sherry Gray, Previously Global Programs Coordinator at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs

  • "KaYing's work was of the very highest quality."

    Eric Schwartz, Previously Dean of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs

  • Thank you so much for the wonderful presentation. I loved the activity and learned so much about systems thinking. This is an area that my graduate program doesn't have any coursework in so I really appreciate what I've been able to learn through the case competition and hope to learn more."
