Bio
Judith Roberts
As a consultant Deb asks all of the right questions. She approaches complex issues with manageable and realistic solutions. Deb helped me design a data collection tool that provided greater insight to gaps and trends within my organization. Currently, she is helping me tailor data into a report that will assist organizational leaders with future strategic implementation. On a personal level Deb is a great listener. Deb is a knowledgeable and organized professional. She is easy to talk with and great to brainstorm ideas for planning and strategy. It has been a pleasure to work with her in this capacity.

I had the great pleasure of working with Deb in her role of Executive for Planning, Research and Evaluation with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America while she was serving as a representative to and member of the Faith Communities Today research initiative, which I direct. Throughout our interactions together, she demonstrated a thoughtful, collegial spirit and was always willing to dive into a new project. Deb's knowledge and expertise in the field of survey research and data analysis is extensive. I witnessed this firsthand throughout an article-writing process for an academic journal she authored a report for, a joint effort that I spearheaded the coordination of. I have continued to observe and hear great things about her research skills from colleagues in the field as she has branched out into her own consultancy and look forward to the ways our paths may continue to cross in this realm.
