“I was privileged to attend some exceptional schools as a child, but the first time I attended a school for more than two and a half years was in college. This experience, paired with moving to new communities, made me a student of school design and educational access from a young age and led me to a career dedicated to providing equitable and engaging educational choices for all students, families and communities.”

• Before joining Edgility, Hadley co-designed, launched and led Steward Outdoor School, the first semester school for middle school students, giving students from all backgrounds the unique opportunity to live away from home and experience hands-on, thematic learning and outdoor adventure for a semester.
• As the Director of Outreach on Team Recruit at Achievement First, she designed the network’s first comprehensive strategic outreach plan to build a talent pool (average 15 applications per seat per region) for long term and immediate staffing needs (500+ seats annually) at thirty urban K-12 charter schools.
• Hadley holds a Master’s degree in Elementary Teaching from Sierra Nevada University and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Art from Pitzer College.

Hadley lives in Connecticut with her husband and daughter, who see life as an adventure, just as she does. Hadley is as passionate about exploring and being physically active as she is about her work and spends her time traveling, practicing yoga, mountain biking, camping, sailing, surfing, skiing, and hiking with her family.
