“This honoree has been a long-standing member of NASUP and has served in leadership capacities within the organization. From 2014 – 2017, she served as president elect, president, and past president. During this time, the organization was going through a major transition, and she was instrumental in supporting and leading the organization by establishing new procedures and supporting the leadership team to cast a vision for future efforts. This person was part of a core group of individuals that went above and beyond to keep the organization running smoothly and doing impactful work.

In her local context, she directs and oversees more than 15 PDS partnerships and helps to direct and advise about outreach activities to districts and schools in their partnership network. In her role, she helps to shape and guide where resources are spent, and helps to establish, refine, and evaluate the goals and progress of partnerships in their network. Her ability to navigate partnership spaces, both in their development and sustainment, is extraordinary and inspiring.

Additionally, while her role does not include responsibilities to publish peer-
reviewed research she has been a co-author on data-based publications in journals including Action in Teacher Education, the Peabody Journal of Education, and the NASUP peer-reviewed journals School-University Partnerships and PDS Partners: Bridging Research to Practice. She has
