Hi, I’m [Your Name]! I’m an education leader passionate about making special education policies and practices more accessible and impactful. I’m graduating this May with a Doctorate in Education Leadership (EdLD) from Harvard and have held leadership roles in Indiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and D.C. My career interests include improving equity in education, supporting systems-level change, and teaching and developing innovative ways to bridge research and practice.
I enjoy storytelling, breaking down complex ideas in relatable ways, and finding creative approaches to making education policy engaging. I’m excited to attend this event to connect with others, exchange ideas, and explore ways to drive meaningful change in education. Looking forward to great conversations!
