@rebeccabernard
I build education, nonprofit, and travel programs that turn ambitious ideas into scalable, measurable impact.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At The Teaching Well, I lead innovation initiatives spanning a national educator wellbeing learning series, a podcast reaching 91,000+ impressions in under three months, and a wellness mobile app. I also led an organization-wide rebrand that improved customer clarity metrics by 43%.
I've founded and scaled organizations from the ground up, including Family Go Global, a place-based learning community serving 1,400+ families across six countries, and World City Center, a progressive bilingual early education center. Through Renewed Consulting, I advise schools, nonprofits, and public agencies on strategic planning, implementation roadmaps, leadership development, and cross-sector partnerships.
My work brings together strategy, storytelling, education, operations, and relationship building to create programs, brands, and communities that people trust.
