Prior to starting with ReUp, Katy worked in education setting vision, managing team execution, and coaching and developing others. Her career began as a teacher in St. Louis with Teach For America. After six years of teaching she moved on staff with Teach For America Chicago and Northwest Indiana. As the Managing Director of Teacher Leadership Development she led teams of coaches working to improve educational outcomes for over 2,000 students across the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana landscapes.
