Crystal has spent most of her marketing career over the last 15+ years in mission-driven organizations dedicated to serving kids, families, and educators in early childhood education, K-12, and higher education. What excites her most about her role as Sr. Field Marketing Manager at NWEA is the opportunity to make a difference across diverse populations and regions that NWEA serves and the impact that assessment has in shaping the lives of children. Prior to her career in Marketing, she taught English as a Second Language in China to elementary students, college medical students, and working adults. Crystal completed her undergraduate work at Pacific University in Oregon.
