DEBORAH REYNOLDS

With over three decades of dedication to education, I've refined my leadership and organizational skills, driving innovative programs, and fostering a nationwide network of professional relationships. Throughout my journey, I've eagerly embraced expanding roles, cultivated new talents, and conquered diverse challenges. A trailblazer in STEM education, I've consistently spearheaded transformative initiatives and secured funding to elevate student learning. During my tenure as an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow in 2019-2020, I broke new ground as the inaugural Fellow assigned to the Department of Defense, collaborating closely with the Navy on STEM Education and Outreach. Presently, as Director of TechWorks at Commonwealth Charter Academy, I launched a career-focused technology program in 2020, driving workforce development initiatives and overseeing staff management.
