  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with others in designing and facilitating professional development for K–12 audiences, with a strong commitment to equity and social justice in training content.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, with clear and strategic communication skills to solve problems and advance multiple initiatives simultaneously.
