Kirsten Hill

A senior at Tulane University in New Orleans, Kirsten’s interest in education policy began her freshman year when she started to volunteer as a reading tutor at a local Recovery School. Recognizing the struggle to re-build a strong education system in post-Katrina New Orleans, Kirsten became active within the school district, enrolled in teacher certification classes, and additionally created a volunteer reading program that was implemented at a New Orleans public school. She is currently working with the New Orleans Recovery School District and local universities to expand university-partnered reading programs across the city. As Education Strategist, she looks forward to engaging students with local and national education systems and promoting innovative solutions in education reform.
