As Director, Leadership and School Design, Jennifer supports the development and implementation of Springpoint’s Transformative Leaders of Massachusetts fellowship.

Prior to Springpoint, Jennifer served as Dean of the Graduate School of Education at Relay, running the New York campus and serving on the National Executive Team that supports Relay’s nineteen other campuses across the country. As Dean, she worked to build a community of learners in which all people can grow, develop and thrive. She scaled the campus to over 1800 graduate students, almost 50 partners, and four additional regions in New York State with over 70% of teachers identifying as a person of color. She shifted programming to focus on equity in education, culturally responsive pedagogy, universal design for learning, and socio-emotional learning through the practical application of teaching to better meet the needs of the school communities in New York. She still continues to serve as a senior advisor to the Relay New York team. Previously, she served as Director of Talent Development at Achievement First in New York, as well as the Implementation Lead for a $60 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation dedicated to the development of a teacher career pathway at Green Dot Public Schools. Jennifer started her career in Philadelphia as a high school science teacher, as well as teaching science in Los Angeles, California before moving to Brooklyn, NY where she lives with her partner and three children.

Jennifer holds a Bachelors of Arts in Biology from University of California, Berkeley and a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Teachers College.
