OCTAE
is pleased to welcome Lul Tesfai who joined our staff as a special
assistant in July.Before joining OCTAE, Tesfai was a policy consultant
for the California Senate Office of Research. In this role, she
evaluated how well the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation vocational training programs improved employment
opportunities for ex-offenders and aligned with the workforce needs of
state and regional economies. Tesfai began her career in education as a
Teach For America corps member in San Francisco. Prior to attending
graduate school, she was an educational consultant to the San Francisco
Unified School District, where she helped to build and sustain student
achievement growth in poor performing schools on the verge of closure.
As a graduate fellow in the office of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel,
Tesfai worked on a number of education, urban, and social policy issues,
including Chicago’s Cradle-to-Career Initiative. She is committed to
ensuring educational equity for students of all ages and working to
diminish the predictive power of demographics. Tesfai has a bachelor’s
in political science and international studies from Northwestern
University and a master’s in public policy from the Goldman School of
Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. In her free
time, she enjoys rock climbing and trying out new Crock-Pot recipes.
