We have decades of experience leading human-centered research, evaluation and measurement projects across Public Health, Behavioral Health, Criminal Justice, Education, and Social Services.

"Sonia and DNA staff not only took the time to understand our program on a deep level, they knew that the data they were working with told a story.  The final report brought the numbers to life in a way that honored the people and stories that built our initiative."
