Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
First, I worked as an actress/dancer in the musical "Can Can."
2.
Then I went to a little startup called AOL to help them figure out how to do "news" online.
3.
Hooked on performance, but wanting a more analytical career, I turned to TV News.
4.
I took a job at Sallie Mae and started their foundation to work on college access.
5.
After 15 years in TV News, I was appointed Bill Clinton's first female spokesman at the Defense Dept.
6.
That's how I ended up in education reform, developing new orgs like EdFuel and Education Design Lab.
