Nia Butler

International Affairs Specialist

I’ve always been fascinated by global affairs and the ways sectors, communities, and initiatives are interconnected. My career began in the nonprofit sector, where I supported compliance and reporting for youth safety and international exchange programs. This work has fostered cross-cultural learning, broadened perspectives, and expanded educational opportunities. Since then, I have contributed to capacity-building initiatives and impact evaluations to strengthen professional skills and leadership development within the international development community. I have also worked as an evaluation analyst, supporting the measurement of development outcomes and exports and their impacts for international infrastructure projects. Across each role, I’ve been driven by a passion for understanding how programs, people, and policies connect and for finding meaningful ways to demonstrate and strengthen their impact.
