Meet our team 🍎 (Check Alt) [1/2]
Hi, my name is Kristen and I am director of NYKids and a professor of educational policy and leadership in the School of Education at the University at Albany. I started my career as an English New Language teacher and have always had a strong interest in reducing educational opportunity gaps particularly among those more vulnerable and marginalized. I am a bridging scholar who seeks to connect research to practice. My current focus is on working with scholars near and far in sharing lessons learned on the teaching and learning of collaborative continuous improvement in education. Aaron Leo is a cultural anthropologist whose research focuses on the education of newly-arrived immigrants and refugees. His scholarly interests center around newcomers’ educational aspirations and the influences of family on educational outcomes. Hi! I'm Manaswi Kattoju (she/her), a Grad student at UAlbany studying Strategic Game Design and Applied development. I'm the Webmaster and Social Media Intern here at NYKids! I love using art, design and storytelling to create engaging, meaningful content. I’m very passionate about research and making it easy and fun for everyone to interact with, promoting community access. My brain functions like the multiverse, each thought got its own spin-off ✨✨✨
