Jennie Goldstone, Ed.D.
With over 20 years in education, Jennie has dedicated her career to improving education opportunities and outcomes for those historically underserved by the education system.
And, notably, she’s done that work exclusively through the non-formal and non-profit sector. Jennie has worked with museums, zoos, arts organizations, conservation organizations, NGOs, and education support organizations; as an educator, curriculum writer, program administrator, and teacher trainer.
In that way Jennie has become, first, an avid champion of community-school partnerships and the incredible resources that organizations bring to transform the formal schooling experience for learners. And second, she’s become an ambassador of sorts, fluent in the languages of both the non-formal and formal education worlds, uniquely skilled in facilitating impactful relationships between the two and supporting their work together.
Jennie earned a Masters in Education from Boston University, and a Doctorate in Education Leadership from UC San Diego. She has worked with students, educators, administrators, organizations, and funders in the US and internationally.
When she’s not geeking out about education (and, often when she is), Jennie can be found exploring the world; cooking, dancing and singing (at the same time); cheering for the Buffalo Bills (her hometown team) and the Lakers (her adopted team); dabbling in arts and crafts, and roaming San Diego with her dog, Bear, who is objectively the best and cutest boy.
Hey, I’m Bear!
