Senior Manager, National Program Operations

At New Leaders, we identify talented educators who believe that all kids can excel and equip them to transform schools and students lives. Our programs provide intensive training to leaders at all levels from teachers to superintendents so they have the skills to improve instruction, accelerate student learning, and build a brighter future for their communities.

I am a leader committed to seeing greater opportunity and access for all children, particularly students of color from low-income communities. After graduating from Penn State University, I jumped into a 5th grade classroom in Houston, TX and worked for two years to achieve academic progress for my students, despite the statistics telling them what they could or could not do because of where they grew up. I then joined TFA’s recruitment team where I worked to inspire and enlist hundreds of diverse and talented professionals into the movement for educational equity through TFA’s corps program. Currently, I'm responsible for creating a pipeline of qualified and diverse applicants who will be successfully admitted into New Leaders Aspiring Principals and Emerging Leaders programs. In my efforts, I work to inspire, build and maintain relationships with key district and charter partners and other relevant organizations to attract strong applicants well-suited for matriculation into one of our rigorous programs. I also work to grow the applicant pool and cultivate prospective candidates by sourcing candidates through traditional and non-traditional avenues, cultivating external partnerships, extensive networking, and executing events while serving as an ambassador of New Leaders’ mission, core beliefs, and values. "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." If you're ready to make an impact, let's connect!
