Bio
Ellie Myers
I worked with Marla over the course of a year when she was the chair of a committee for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at UVA. I found Marla to be a thoughtful, thorough, and driven leader who handled a challenging topic and candid conversations with great care. She was personally invested in the success of our committee but also incredibly professional. She was able to organize our group, get the most out of everyone’s natural talents, all while being sensitive, productive, and organized. Marla exhibited many different skills and talents as a communicator, organizer, leader, and advocate. She brings an authentic sense of purpose to her work and is a trustworthy colleague.

Marla is a skilled communicator, instructional designer and strategist. When we worked together at Teachstone she kept her keen eye on the goal of creating engaging content for our users and developing a top-rate team of writers and designers. Her commitment to equity, diversity & inclusion is evident by the many ways she continually shows up and skillfully speaks on behalf of others. She’s someone I recommend whole heartedly.
