Hey there! I’m Heather Gerker, an educational researcher with a passion for connecting people and ideas, facilitating meaningful learning experiences, and supporting others in their professional growth to inspire positive change.

I’m all about making spaces more inclusive and pushing for educational equity by bringing communities together, diving into research, and leading with collaboration. My work is fueled by a deep sense of justice, empathy, and a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices.

In practice, this means partnering with educators and organizations to reflect, research, and reimagine their work. I draw on years of experience in nonprofit leadership, educational organizations, and community-rooted research to help turn insights into meaningful action.

Interested in working together? Drop me a line!
