Bio
Colby Wagenbach
Gary is the sort of manager one is lucky to call a mentor. Gary directly managed me for a year, and two noteworthy traits characterize Gary's approach to leadership: critical thinking and role-modeling. Gary demonstrated his problem solving on a daily basis, and buoyed team morale with his unfailing belief in our ability to meet his high expectations. Gary thinks dynamically: In a matter of days we successfully built and deployed a remote education model servicing our clients' needs through unprecedented turmoil. I can say without any hesitation that Gary is exactly the sort of person anyone would be lucky to have finding a solution or developing personnel on their team.

I chose to be an educator and school administrator to help close the achievement gap between BIPOC students, and their White and Asian counterparts. I achieved this by using data to plan and execute training programs to raise the standards of instruction and curriculum delivery inside the classrooms. I collaborated with parents, content experts, teachers, and other cross-functional stakeholders to increase teacher retention, and build strong student habits such as homework and classwork completion, attendance, and studying.

Access to affordable and high-quality education remains the single most important civil rights issue of our time. That's why as an educator, I engaged students through a hands-on approach to science education. Facilitated student-led lab experiments where students experienced different levels of inquiry in designing experiments that their curious minds conjured up. In my classroom, every child knew not the limits of their curiosity and imagination but realized their innate potential to ponder and Dream Big. Show less
