I am the CEO of The Learning Agency, a mission-driven, education consulting firm. I have been an advisor to many universities, foundations, and companies. My research and writing has appeared everywhere from the front page of USA Today to The Tonight Show. I wrote a book on the science of learning titled Learn Better that was featured in many media outlets, including Wired, Slate, Vox, Fast Company, and The Atlantic. Amazon called it “the best science book of the year.”Earlier in my career, I worked as a senior fellow for the Center for American Progress, a contributing editor for U.S. News and World Report, and as a researcher for the newspaper Education Week. I graduated with honors from Dartmouth College.
