Bethany (or Beth) Hanson is a Principal Consultant in the Sustainable Futures team. Bethany loves to take a practical approach so clients can engage with evaluation regardless of their background or experience. She gains great satisfaction from empowering clients by building their own evaluation capability to improve the design and delivery of their programs while gaining insights into what is and isn’t working, and why.

Bethany brings a depth of government experience having worked across multiple natural resource and primary industries agencies. While working for NSW Government, Bethany developed the NSW Climate Change Fund Evaluation Framework to be applied to over $1 billion of investment. She is currently undertaking her Masters of Evaluation through the University of Melbourne.
When she’s not at work, Bethany can be found on one of Newcastle’s beautiful beaches, soaking up a live gig, or camping in her van.
