She coordinates in-person and online coaching, training and technical assistance at the state, district, and school levels to ensure effective use of data and research findings to inform policy and practice. Part of her role is to leverage her 30 years of prior experience as a consultant and educator with county offices, districts, schools and organizations serving historically marginalized and underserved students and families to design tools and training that drive equity-centered, sustainable, systemic change.
