Experience
Deputy Director, Washington State Initiative
Feb 2024 — Present · WA, US
With only 50% of Washington students pursuing postsecondary credentials, the Washington State Initiative (WSI) focuses on supporting the transitional point in a student’s education journey: enrollment after high school in a postsecondary program that will lead to meaningful employment. We place special emphasis on students who face the highest barriers, including Black, Latino, Indigenous and rural students, and students from low-income backgrounds. As Deputy Director, I provide leadership for the team leading two critical bodies of work within the WSI strategy: • Data, focused on strengthening the data capacity of regional partners and addressing the statewide need to strengthen the P20W data ecosystem, with a particular focus on the high school to workforce part of the continuum at the state and local level; and • Regional Partnerships, focused on investing in building the capacity of cross-sector partnerships in our focus regions to lead and implement collaborative efforts and innovative solutions to drive postsecondary enrollment within their communities.
