Veronica Del Bianco

I’m Veronica Del Bianco, an educator, evaluator and researcher. My motto is that research and evaluation are not complete until it’s in the hands of people that can use it and in language that they can understand. I create reports to share critical insights to clients that generate “aha!” moments and help them make data-driven decisions.

With a doctorate in extension education and evaluation and a Masters of Science in environmental biology, I specialize in informal STEM education programs and am particularly passionate about organizations that engage the public in scientific research and aim to broaden participation in STEM fields. I have considerable experience using utilization-focused, participatory and mixed-methods evaluation approaches. I joined Catalyst Consulting Group as a contributor in 2023 and work out of New Orleans, Louisiana.
