Stacy Wetcher Gad

What I Work On: I work on projects that serve district/state leaders, education partners and teachers to support what matters most ― doing the right thing for students. I rely heavily on voices of those most proximate to the problem to design solutions to benefit all students. 

Why I Work Here: Access to a high-quality education is a right for every single child, yet that is not the current reality for so many. I work at SAP to challenge the "status quo", so that every child receives a rich educational experience that supports them in being who they want to be, now and in the future.  

My Education and Experience: After graduating from the University of Florida in 2004, I took the leap to move and begin my career in New York City. Prior to joining Student Achievement Partners in 2014, I worked for a large firm as consultant to various government agencies. This experience provided me with the opportunity to learn about many different industries, which is how I ultimately came to discover my passion for K-12 education.

More About Me: I am a native South Floridian, born and raised (minus a 10-year hiatus of living life in NYC!) 

A Quote That Inspires Me: “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.” ― Oprah Winfrey
