What’s the best thing about working at DFI?

What I enjoy most about working at DFI are the brilliant, kind, and beautiful humans on our team who I get to learn from every day. It is so energizing to be surrounded by a group of people who see the big, ugly, complicated problems that make it so difficult to ensure that every child has a well-prepared teacher not as insurmountable, but as solvable, and then to get to work with them every day to try and build something better for children. Add to that the amazing educators and leaders we get to work alongside and it really is magic.
