Katie Boodie Adorno
CEO & Founder of Leanlab Education
I had the pleasure of working with Marion at Leanlab, where her sharp expertise in edtech research and the learning sciences proved to be invaluable. Marion was brought on board to provide support to our team during a capacity crunch, and she exceeded expectations.
Marion took the lead on a key project funded by the Hall Family Foundation, synthesizing findings from 15 studies conducted in the midwest region to create a State of Innovation report. Their ability to draw out themes, identify what works and what doesn't, and provide best practices for edtech in K12 settings was truly impressive.
In her role as the lead researcher on AI-focused projects for MagicSchool, Kyron Learning, and Novel Effects, Marion delved deep into the technology, guiding development and aligning products to ESSA Tiers of Evidence. Her rapport with clients, energetic approach in meetings, and consistent delivery of high-quality work on or ahead of schedule set a high standard for the rest of the team.
I recommend Marion for any research or project management role. Her dedication, expertise, and ability to produce exceptional results make them a standout professional in the field. Thank you, Marion, for your outstanding contributions to our projects at Leanlab.
Ian Freed
Co-Founder & CEO of Bamboo Learning
Bamboo Learning brought on Marion Goldstein as a consultant to help us with grant management and customer outreach to school districts, as well as government and nonprofit organizations.
Marion’s background in education research, as well as her understanding of K-5 education tools and standards including literacy, ESL, math, and more were key reasons for us in selecting Marion as a consultant.
Marion got up to speed on our product quickly, and within a week or two was able to respond to high value RFPs, as well as close any open issues with potential clients with very little assistance from the rest of the Bamboo Learning team.
She works hard, learns quickly, is a self-starter, and we would definitely hire her as a consultant again should the need arise.
Annie Jorgensen
Co-Founder & CEO
Marion was a member of our mentor team through Kinect Capital and we were immediately impressed by her niche skill set regarding EdTech expertise. We reached out to her after our mentor experience and hired her to provide consulting for our EdTech venture At Home Articulation.
A few of the projects she's worked on with us are researching grant opportunities and writing grant proposals, helping us craft our Logic Model and finally, technical writing needed to contribute to a University IRB proposal. In each project Marion has demonstrated amazing technical writing ability. As someone that has very little technical writing skills, I'm always amazed at her ability to turn our conversations into a beautifully written proposal or model. In the amount of hours she's provided for us, she's given us ample high quality receivables that have helped further our business goals.
I'd recommend her to any EdTech company--we are grateful for her expertise and help!
