Dipa Desai (she/her) 

A first generation minority student, Dipa proudly holds a BA and a M.Ed from Providence College. Mission driven at her core, Dipa is motivated by the potential to increase access to high quality learning experiences for all students. She believes in the power of a team and that we are better together. Additionally, Dipa enjoys using "simple" data to draw insights to inform decisions and long term strategic planning. 

Prior to joining 2U/edX in 2017, Dipa spent the majority of her Professional career working in the K-12 space at the policy level partnering with schools district and State Education Agencies to improve their lowest performing schools. 

Outside of work, Dipa lives with her partner Anand and their two curious young boys who remind her to ask why, focus on what matters, and less is often more day in and out. During her free time Dipa loves swimming, a good DIY project, and any excuse to head up to Boston/Providence.
