As the Co-Founder and Director of Strategic Management at the non-profit Venture for Success Preparatory Learning Center, Nathaniel is unwavering in his mission to redefine the educational paradigm. He achieves this by forging strong partnerships and spearheading initiatives that prioritize social-emotional learning even before children transition to elementary school.
A crowning achievement in Nathaniel's illustrious career was the inception of the first ECE Professional Training Center in Northeast Denver in 2018. This groundbreaking initiative has since equipped over 100 adult learners, playing a pivotal role in addressing the teacher employment gap and mitigating educational disparities.
Boasting over 17 years in the field, Nathaniel's expertise encompasses program strategy, educational solutions, leadership, and public administration. He is celebrated for his forward-thinking approach to team and process development, coupled with a keen sense for addressing the unique needs of children and families through judicious partnership selection.
In 2019, Nathaniel's leadership acumen in public administration was recognized with his appointment as Secretary on the board of the Colorado Association for the Education of Young Children (COAEYC). By 2020, he ascended to the role of Chairman, where he was instrumental in championing affordable professional development, amplifying the voices of educators, and nurturing a cohesive network of early childhood professionals.
Nathaniel's advocacy was further underscored when he galvanized support for Prop EE, a statewide ballot initiative. The triumphant passage of this initiative channeled crucial resources to fortify Colorado's early education programs. His fruitful collaboration with the Buell Foundation, a leading entity in child and family development, further cements his stature as a formidable advocate in the sector.
In August 2023, Nathaniel's dedication and expertise were further recognized with his appointment as a board member of the Denver Preschool Program, a significant role that underscores the importance of early childhood education in the broader educational ecosystem of Denver.
