Following her PhD in organizational psychology, Betty began her career helping organizations use evaluation to gain the insight needed to optimize or sustain programs and innovations. For the past decade, Betty has worked as an educator, leader, and scholar in diverse roles across the academic health sciences system; and she identifies strongly as a scientist-practitioner (or practitioner-scientist). Presently, she is the Director, Knowledge Mobilization for the Provincial System Support Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.  She leads a SSHRC-funded, program of research that is focused on the science of evaluation. Notably, she is interested in questions about the socio-political dimensions of evaluation practice – as well as about how to advance evaluation methodologies in ways that can influence more equitable, and sustainable innovation.
