At Rocketship Public Schools, I owned learning strategy across a multi-site program and used performance data to improve annual learner growth from 1.07 to 1.23 years. I also built a working AI-assisted tool with Google Apps Script and Gemini to draft learning materials in a consistent document structure.

I built and scaled a learning program across a 20-school network, including platform rollout, facilitation, and adoption support. Earlier, at Democracy Prep, I taught math and redesigned curriculum; at Blue Engine, I designed onboarding and training and managed, coached, and evaluated a team of nine.
