Meet the Team – Kate
Meet Kate – The Calm-in-the-Storm Project Officer Who Gets Things Done
If you’ve ever wondered how our evaluation projects glide along so smoothly, meet Kate Dixon – one of our brilliant Project Officers here at The Evaluator. With her sharp eye for detail, calm presence, and can-do spirit, Kate’s the person you want in your corner when there are deadlines to meet, people to engage, and reports to deliver.
Kate brings nearly a decade of hands-on experience in project management, compliance, and audit – particularly in the world of community-funded initiatives. She’s a whizz when it comes to making sure projects are not just well-intentioned, but well-run. Whether she’s wrangling data, coordinating activities, or quietly making sure everything is above board and ticking along, Kate always has her sleeves rolled up and her mind tuned into the bigger picture.
What really sets Kate apart, though, is her mix of empathy and efficiency. She’s incredibly good at building trust – with funders, partners, and community participants alike. From crafting thoughtful case studies to carrying out interviews or managing complex compliance tasks, she brings heart and head to everything she does. She’s also trained as a Team Leader and Teaching Assistant, so she knows how to communicate clearly, adapt to any situation, and get the best out of people – whether it’s a stakeholder meeting or a one-to-one conversation with a participant.
Her skillset is wide (and growing!) – from GDPR compliance and data interpretation, to report writing, resilience, and relationship-building. But perhaps the best way to describe Kate is that she’s a problem-solver. She figures things out, she smooths out the wrinkles, and she gets the job done – always with integrity, warmth and a touch of understated brilliance.
We’re lucky to have her – and if you work with us, you’ll soon see why.
