  • Highly collaborative and adaptive—skilled at working across internal teams (e.g., Policy, Product, Research, and Community) to align support and drive outcomes.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple partnerships and priorities simultaneously.
  • Deep commitment to educational equity and to centering student and community voice in system transformation.
  • Curious, reflective, and growth-oriented—eager to learn from schools and systems while contributing to collective learning.
