Eileen has extensive experience facilitating collective impact and health access projects. This experience includes working with diverse community partners to frame a Common Agenda for Collective Impact via the development of shared goals, processes and metrics. Her ability to guide the development of evaluation frameworks to support practical implementation, shared data analysis, and utility, is often cited by her clients as having been integral to strengthening community partnerships and systems.

Eileen is the author of the Rage to Resolution and Mad Choices anger management curricula, which views anger from the strengths perspective, as "a sane response to an unsafe world." These curricula sets help participants of the 12 week program learn to harness anger's power for action and advocacy. Rage to Resolution and MAD CHOICES have been used with over 5,000 families, generating over $7 million in renewable grant funding for the programs Eileen led in NY, as well as, programs adapting the curriculum in other regions of the state, since 2007.
