My Skills] I solve complex and large-scale problems by scoping, designing, and implementing strategic programs. I excel at managing projects and teams of all sizes, and I enjoy working cross-functionally to get things done. My approach revolves around paying attention to detail, developing creative solutions while working within constraints, and instilling integrity in my work. And I do it most days with a huge smile on my face.[What I’m Looking For] I am incredibly passionate about educational technologies, equity and inclusion, and finding innovative solutions to systemic problems that impact people across the country. I’m most comfortable in working environments that are fast-paced, have a lot of opportunity to make an impact, and contribute to social good focused on students, educators, and communities.[Why Me] I dream big and I work hard. My colleagues describe me as determined, dynamic, and energetic. I want to make education better for all students and I believe I can contribute to an organization that aims to innovate, rethink, and change systems to reinvent K-12 education so all students can thrive.
