For the past four years, I have worked in knowledge development and strategy at Teach For America, an education non-profit. Currently, I serve as the Managing Director of Strategic Clarity, which focuses on the organization’s learning and knowledge infrastructure as well as national strategic planning initiatives.
Prior to leading this team, I managed the national Knowledge Development team, which focused on evolving the organization’s core teaching and learning frameworks. Before leading the team, I served as the Chief of Staff to the SVP, Knowledge Development (Chief Knowledge Officer) where I led project management and other strategic efforts.
Before joining the staff of Teach For America, I worked as a special education teacher, and in 2011, was awarded the Sue Lehmann Award for Excellence in Teaching. I studied Economics and Russian language at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and Wadham College, University of Oxford in England.
While living in the United Kingdom, I also worked as a consultant intern on strategy and online communications at Oxfam Great Britain, an international development charity and served as a cellist in the Oxford University Orchestra.
