Amy Estill
Founder & CEO
I have had many wonderful and fulfilling opportunities to support public sector and not-for-profit organizations in paid and volunteer roles. I have developed and managed multiple program, agency, and community-wide projects, and I have managed high-functioning teams of up to 18 interdisciplinary staff members.
I am passionate about collaborative, results-focused work and I find enjoyment in motivating teams to achieve more together. My particular strengths are in visioning, group facilitation, project management, grant writing, and training and capacity building.
I have a Master’s degree in Health Studies and Gerontology from The University of Waterloo, a leadership certificate from The University of Waterloo, a change management certificate from e-Cornell, a knowledge mobilization certificate from the University of Guelph, and I'm Lean Healthcare Green Belt Certified.
Liz Robson
Chief Operating Officer, Collective Results
I have had the opportunity to work in various management and project lead roles over the past 15 years across different organizations and sectors. I love working on projects that span an entire organization and those that involve systems planning across a community.
It may sound strange, but the work that I gravitate towards is often messy to start. What I mean by “messy” is that I enjoy working as a team to solve complex problems and find solutions. Working together as a team to define a project’s purpose and to establish useful metrics to measure results has the potential to not only improve your processes and outcomes but may also lead to increased work satisfaction and team cohesion!
I have a Master’s degree in Public Health from the University of Waterloo, a leadership certificate from the University of Waterloo and am Lean Healthcare Green Belt certified.
Ishan Angra
Organizational Development Team Lead, Collective Results
Over the past 15 years I have had the privilege to work in the education, public health, and health sectors. I have had many diverse experiences, from facilitating health promotion projects across different settings, to teaching high school science and physical education, to planning regional programs and advocating for health equity in health system planning. Across different systems, organizations and in a variety of frontline and leadership roles, my work has always been community and partnership driven and evidence-based. I relish opportunities to work with others to move projects forward collaboratively, with empathy and clear communication.
I have a Master’s degree in Applied Health Sciences from Brock University and Bachelor’s of Education from the University of Toronto. I have also completed a Professional Certificate in Knowledge Management from the University of Ottawa and am a certified Bridges Out of Poverty trainer.
Michi Motomura
Consultant, Collective Results
I have been honoured to work as a researcher and evaluator for over 15 years at a variety of organizations in the public and not-for-profit sectors. My work has primarily focused on conducting applied research and evaluation to support program and organizational planning and development. I have led a wide range of projects through all stages of evaluation including framework development, research design, tool development, data collection, analysis, reporting and implementation of recommendations. I have a particular interest in the real-world application of research and data in the service of program and policy development. I thrive in a collaborative environment where individuals with a diversity of backgrounds can work together towards a common goal. I believe in evidence-based initiatives and am driven to ensure that research and data is accessible to everyone.
I have a PhD in Applied Social Psychology from the University of Windsor and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from McMaster University.
Lindsay Cline
Consultant, Collective Results
Over the past 10 years, I have continued to expand my skillset in various roles within higher education and public health. Whether working on research projects or health promotion planning, I have always been interested in gaining a better understanding of the underlying “why” – why we think the way we do, make certain choices, or behave in specific ways – and what can we do to improve?
During my time working in public health, I was involved with several different projects focused on program evaluation, group facilitation and strategic planning. I value relationship building through collaboration and taking a thoughtful approach to every project. My strengths include critical thinking, evaluation, and knowledge mobilization.
I have a PhD in Applied Health Sciences – Behavioural & Population Health from Brock University.
Auburn Larose
Consultant, Collective Results
For over a decade I have had the opportunity to work with various public health, non-profit, and healthcare agencies around the world. From researching maternal health outcomes in India, to developing physical education programming in South Korea, to improving health equity among migrant workers in the United States, I love working on projects that bring people together and use data to drive change.
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of data – the ability of numbers in cells, once analyzed and visualized well, to shed light on the unknown, to give depth of understanding, and to breathe life into the questions we want answered. Data can move mountains.
My strengths are in data science, knowledge mobilization, data visualization, and planning. I thrive in collaborative environments that bring together unique ideas to create innovative solutions.
I have a Master’s degree in Global Health from McMaster University, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Health Studies from Queen’s University, and a Bachelor of Physical and Health Education from Queen’s University. I am also Lean Sigma Yellow Belt certified.
Brianne Petrina
Community Based Research Team Lead, Collective Results
For the past 14 years, I have been grateful to do some truly exciting and impactful work across the public, health and academic sectors. Whether it be research supporting national evidence-informed physical activity guidelines, developing a comprehensive health promotion strategy and program from scratch in a new community, leading strategic planning for a children’s services coalition, or advocating for neighbourhoods to be designed in a way that makes the healthier choice the easier choice, doing
evidence-informed, meaningful work with wonderful people has always been my motivation.
I find it rewarding to work collaboratively using various methodologies and approaches to piece together the current story of a community, sector or agency, emphasizing the strengths and opportunities for change. When this information is coupled with evidence-informed approaches to create an innovative, tangible plan, the story can change. My favourite part is witnessing the next chapter of the story evolve to achieve the desired outcomes. My strengths include project management, planning, research and evaluation.
I have a Master’s degree in Health & Exercise Psychology from McMaster University and Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Western University. I am also Lean Healthcare Green Belt certified.
Tin Vo
Data, Program Monitoring and Evaluation Team Lead, Collective Results
I have over 10 years of experience leading research and evaluation projects in the public health, social services, and higher education sectors. I have engaged in community-led research, as well as evidence-informed program planning. As an evaluator, my primary approach is utilization-focused, ensuring that projects centre the intended use of evaluation findings. My work seeks to integrate equity within all aspects, from the planning, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and knowledge mobilization stages of projects. My areas of expertise include but are not limited to infectious and communicable diseases, mental health and substance use, as well as discrimination, intersectionality, and wellbeing. My recent work examined social exclusion (e.g., discrimination, stigma) as a determinant of health for marginalized groups and strategies to evaluate equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression initiatives.
I have a PhD (Social Work) from Wilfrid Laurier University, a MPH (Health Promotion) from the University of Alberta, and a HBSc from the University of Guelph. I am also a Credentialed Evaluator with the Canadian Evaluation Society and am Lean Sigma Yellow Belt certified.
Audra Thompson-Haile
Program and Product Development Team Lead, Collective Results
For the past 15 years I have been working in leadership and project management roles for various public and non-profit settings- always related to improving, informing and/or understanding health-related issues. My background in education provided me with the opportunity to spend much of my earlier career working on research and surveillance projects within school ecosystems. Later, I shifted to a new sector directing a Ministry funded education and research focused program aimed at enhancing the well-being of those who live and work in long-term care.
I thrive when the work I do is not only informed by data and best practices, but when I get the chance to build relationships and work in a collaborative team environment. My strengths include leadership, project management, facilitation and research.
I have a Master’s degree in Physical Education and Recreation from the University of Alberta, and a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees, both from Brock University.
Lauren Alonso
Consultant, Collective Results
Over the past 5 years, I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of community organizations in the public health sector as a Consultant and Health Promotion Specialist on a Health Analytics team. The majority of my work has involved leading projects in the areas of substance use and harm reduction, as well as youth health and well-being. I would describe myself as having an analytical mind with a creative flair. I love collaborating with others from diverse backgrounds and have strong skills in program evaluation, data analysis, and knowledge mobilization.
I am very interested in telling the stories of organizations and their clients through data, either by using existing data sources or creating and implementing data collection tools such as surveys. I particularly enjoy transforming data into visualizations that are easy to understand and utilize, such as dashboards and infographics. I believe that by leveraging data, organizations have the power to not only measure their impact but make informed decisions that can improve outcomes for their clients.
I have a Master of Public Health and an Honours Bachelor of Science, both from the University of Guelph.

"As a CEO new to an agency, having the support of Collective Results has been a game changer. Not only are they bringing a critical eye to existing Agency structure and processes but are facilitating the process of refreshing the Strategic Plan, refocusing strategic priorities, raising expectations with a goal to shift the culture on accountability, service excellence and value for money.
Their long history of working with not for profit agencies is evident in the use of dynamic facilitation skills, standardized structures and processes for engagement and collaboration, which ultimately leads to results."
