Partnership Program Manager

Why LEO?

“When I learned about LEO’s mission of improving lives through evidence-based programs and policies, I wanted to join in playing a role to end poverty with those who believe it is possible and are creating rigorous, proven means to achieve it. I am especially drawn to one of LEO’s core values: prioritizing the dignity of every person with a preferential option for those struggling in poverty.”
