Dakota serves as the Director of Operations and Growth for the A+ Best Practices Center (ABPC). He supports and enhances the dynamic, student-centered professional learning delivered by the ABPC by improving operational efficiency, streamlining communications, and increasing educator engagement.

Prior to joining A+ in March of 2020, Dakota served in several operations roles throughout the non-profit sector. All of which primed him to contribute to the A+ mission in new and innovative ways. He also had the opportunity to teach reading K-12 students in the summer of 2018. This illuminating experience gave him an even greater appreciation for the expertise, talent, and commitment that educators bring to the profession.

When not at work, he enjoys listening to music, attending concerts and music festivals, reading, and working on various DIY hobbies.
