About Emily Gell
As a data strategist and program evaluator with a background in education policy, I specialize in translating complex data into actionable insights that drive equity-focused decision-making in public education.With a Master of Public Affairs from Brown University and experience at both the school district and research levels, I lead evaluations of federally funded initiatives, design systems for continuous improvement, and collaborate with leadership teams to ensure strategies are evidence-based and equity-centered. My approach is grounded in the belief that data should not just inform — it should disrupt inequity and illuminate paths toward justice.I bring a deep understanding of policy, research, and practice, and thrive at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and system-level change. Whether I\'m building dashboards, facilitating data use among district leaders, or designing evaluation frameworks, my goal is always the same: to make data a tool for transformation.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about using data to reimagine what’s possible for students and communities!
