People do their best work when they feel connected, supported, and a sense of belonging.

Meet Sarah-SoonLing Blackburn, Ed.D., MDC's Vice President of Research, Learning & Impact. Drawing on years of studying what helps students and educators thrive, Sarah-SoonLing brings that same understanding to her leadership philosophy: authentic relationships, meaningful work, and belonging matter at every stage of life. At MDC, she leads efforts to connect research, learning, and evidence with organizational strategy and impact, helping us learn from our work and translate those insights into action. Follow along as we continue introducing the leaders and perspectives shaping MDC's future. #MeetTheLeadership #MeaningDignityCommunity
