About the Role
Profiled Staff Member:
Rudi Bonaparte
Marketing Team
Consultant, Mercator Partners
Harvard University, 2005
"Working at Teach For America provides me the opportunity to apply the skills and experiences I've gained as a consultant to the critical cause of improving public education. My group operates like an internal consultancy, so I've applied most, if not all, of the techniques, frameworks, and processes I've learned as a for-profit consultant. The people who work here are passionate about eliminating educational inequity and always willing to learn how to make a bigger impact; being able to share what I know is immensely rewarding."
While the work can be challenging at times, and the hours long, it’s ultimately up to me how I get my tasks done and how I meet my goals. This allows for an exciting amount of creativity with planning school strategies, connecting with people at schools, brainstorming ideas and executing them. At the end of an application deadline, there are few things more exciting than looking at results and knowing that your work made that happen.
