Our Approach
We believe meaningful change happens when strategy meets empathy and collaboration. Our work is rooted in a deep understanding of school and district cultures, and a commitment to meeting people where they are—leveraging strengths, addressing real needs, and building buy-in across teams and systems.
As former first-generation college students, we’re motivated by personal experience and a drive to challenge the limitations of systems that often fail the very communities they aim to serve. This commitment has shaped our journey from direct service into consulting, action research, and systems-level strategy.
We don’t just deliver plans—we partner to build capacity, navigate resistance, and drive lasting change. Our strategy work is both technical and personal—guided by our values and unwavering belief in what’s possible for students and families.
