I have been with FSG since 2009 and have worked extensively in education and collective impact. I led a five-year strategic roadmap and implementation plan for Pittsburgh Public Schools, a field-wide research report in partnership with the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools on collaborative citywide charter strategies, a collective impact project focused on economic competitiveness in Ohio, a strategic review for the Rockefeller Foundation focused on social and economic equity in the U.S. food and agriculture system, and an evaluation of a multi-year downtown economic development initiative in Michigan in partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. I also worked on a collective impact strategic planning effort for reforming the New York State juvenile justice system. I am now facilitating a community of practice of funders who are investing in collective impact.
