About Coach C
After leaving a small technology firm in the private sector, she embarked upon a journey into education and entrepreneurship. Her diverse experiences range from classroom teaching, to school leadership to influencing policy at the state level. She’s led programs for the SC State Dept of Education, Stride.com, the nation’s largest virtual education company, and the City University of New York (CUNY).
In 2018, at the urging of her former Executive Director, Constance utilized entrepreneurial skills she developed in the 4pt0 Schools Fellowship to launch UnmaskEDU, LLC. She understood that school leaders often lacked understanding of special programs, and would fail to meet federal compliance, and she began providing leadership coaching and professional development to charter schools and organizations in Atlanta, GA. Upon returning to NY, she plunged headfirst into her first love, technology, and began coaching budding software engineers to post-secondary roles in tech.
As a doctoral student of Urban Education, Constance continues to build her network of partnerships as a social impact entrepreneur with her gaze firmly focused on equity and empowerment.

“I never imagined that I would be an educator. I wanted to be in computing since I was in high school and thought I would go to law school. Years later, I’m ‘becoming Dr. CiCi,’ a leader in Urban Education!”
