Hello I'm Elizabeth,

I'm not working for an organization just yet, and live in New York.

My goals for the course are to learn the basics of monitoring and evaluation to better understand their role in an organization, and in projects. I'm not sure how I will apply these new learnings quite yet, but I'm sure they will form a huge part of managing projects one day.

I plan to work solo for this course mainly because my schedule is very wild and I would not want to put anyone out. But I do look forward to discussions with the group to learn from each other and make new contacts/friends.

I don't really have direct experience in monitoring and evaluation, but I have experience in project management (where M&E seemed to be a hidden part). However, I have known about M&E for quite some time, and think my previous projects might have benefitted had I known more about it.

It will be good to get to know everyone, and I'm excited to be in this course!

Thank you,
Elizabeth
