Beverly Ferrell
@beverlyferrell
I build strategic education partnerships, earned-revenue programs, and high-impact workforce development initiatives.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Facing History & Ourselves, I build and execute a three-year district curriculum partnership and earned-revenue strategy focused on successful initial and recurring integration of organizational pedagogy.
Across 15+ years at Boeing, I managed external technical affiliations, diversity recognition programs, global operations, supplier diversity, and strategic work placement. I led STEM programming with organizations including NSBE, SWE, SHPE, AISES, and GMIS, and co-led Lean improvements that reduced 138 process steps to 42, cut cycle time by 37%, reduced costs by 50%, and saved $1 million annually.
I also bring experience teaching in Japan, recruiting high school students, supervising technical instructors, and mentoring students, managers, peers, and technical employees. I enjoy developing people, solving complex problems, and delivering projects on schedule and within budget.
