Currently, I consult on several cool projects, such as this three-year project on guided pathways in rural community colleges – I am the K-12 subject matter expert – and the coaching and professional development organization the Alliance for Transformative Education.
Previously, I did outreach, engagement, and partnership work for the Institute for Student Achievement and the Alliance for Excellent Education. Before that, I did business development for JumpRope, an ed tech company with a grade book built for schools and districts focused on standards-based teaching and learning.
