About
MY FOCUS
My name is Madeline Burns, M.Ed. and I am a current Customer Success Manager at a fast-growing EdTech company in NYC. Prior to this, I worked in the college readiness space and was a 2nd grade associate teacher in an independent, all-girls day school. I am passionate about client relations, project management, and curriculum development where I can utilize my strong foundation in strategic planning and educational practice. I work best in a creative, collaborative, and fast-paced environment and I get excited about inclusive learning opportunities in which all students feel empowered and can see themselves reflected.
