About satra
Greetings!
I am satra d. taylor, a passionate educator and lifelong learner. Professionally, I am also an experienced equity advocate, leveraging policy, partnerships, and research as levers for social change in higher education. Within my career, I have acquired expertise in engaging coalitions, managing collective investments, public speaking, and writing for diverse audiences. I have also served as a senior administrator for a social justice organization, leading its strategy on organizational impact and effectiveness. Before that, I led policy strategy for a national advocacy and policy organization, culminating in the restoration of Pell Grants for incarcerated students. At one of the nation's most influential young adult advocacy and policy organizations, I led the overall strategy and positioning on higher education and workforce policy issues, including college affordability, mental health wellness, student success, and career readiness.
I am most proud of my social entrepreneurial endeavors. In 2021, I founded P&J Flo. Consulting, LLC., a consulting company with a mission to mobilize historically marginalized communities toward intergenerational communal change through civic engagement, community empowerment, and strategic communications.
I have attained strong content expertise with a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy from the University of Michigan. I am also a doctoral student at the University of Maryland, College Park, studying higher education.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, I obtained my bachelor's in psychology from the University of Cincinnati.
