Lea Prince

Vice President, Methodology

Lea joined Charity Navigator in 2022 to direct the development of methodologies for evaluating the social impact of charities at scale for the Impact and Ratings Beacon. She holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California at Davis. She comes to Charity Navigator from the academic sector where she worked for 10 years measuring health and nutrition outcomes with an emphasis on interventions affecting marginalized populations. Outside of work, Lea loves spending time in the Sierra foothills where she lives (especially on the region’s amazing lakes and rivers), traveling to new places, listening to live music, and laughing and relaxing with friends and family.
