Dr. Lo has been a teaching member for East Carolina University and Harvard University’s PK-12 Executive Leadership, Equity-centered Leadership Entry, and Data Wise programs. She specializes in the intersection of organizational leadership, equity-centered coaching, and strengthening the capacity of school systems. “Do it with excellence… and treat others with dignity.”

1) deepen instructional systems and structures to ensure that all students have access to learning success; 
2) strengthen the integration of central office, site-based and community supports to increase student-learning outcomes; and
