Associate

Email Ruby

Through her work with the Fort Worth team, Ruby is analyzing the district's resource use and helping to find ways that it can use its resources more efficiently. She enjoys taking trips to Fort Worth to visit the district office, which brings opportunities to learn directly from its staff members. She is also motivated by the diverse experiences and perspectives of her ERS teammates!

Prior to joining ERS, Ruby was a sixth grade bilingual teacher in Elizabeth, NJ. Her classroom experience led to an interest in education policy, so she decided to pursue her MPA at NYU. During that time she worked as an education consultant at the Center for Public Research and Leadership at Columbia University, and came to ERS excited to keep building her consulting skills within the K-12 context.

Outside of work, Ruby enjoys exploring Boston and hanging out at parks with her fiancé and her puppy. She also loves anything artsy, and can often be found perusing craft stores in search of supplies for her latest project.
