Rooted in Purpose
Hi there—I’m LaShawnna (aka Dr. Harris), an education strategist, systems thinker, and unapologetic champion for people-centered change. With a background in management and leadership, I help school and district leaders move from complexity to clarity—co-designing strategies, systems, and solutions that actually stick.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to community, collaboration, and impact. I create space for thought partnership, helping teams uncover root challenges, reimagine what's possible, and build sustainable approaches to improvement.
Whether it's through strategic planning, program design, or progress monitoring, my goal is always the same: to support bold, brilliant educators in designing learning environments where every child—and adult—can thrive.
Curious about what we could build together? Let’s connect. I’m currently available for new projects.
