WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

 

"Dr. Blackmon is an expert in evaluation but was able to explain the science of evaluation to the grant staff in a manner that allowed us to not only understand the process but also benefit from the results."​

E.Friend
Executive Director

 

"We collaborated on a National Science Foundation Grant that was funded and extremely successful in Florida. I don't believe we would have had the level of effectiveness and success without her knowledge base and understanding of STEM education. Our collaboration was special and inspirational."​

L.Cook
Director Girls IT

 

"Dr. Blackmon's thorough analysis of the impact of the results of prior NSF support at FSCJ has been invaluable in helping us secure new grant awards, including ATE projects related to Improving Technician Training in Automation Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing and ATE Project and another one on Enhancing Aviation Maintenance Technician Training with Nondestructive Testing Skill."​
