Jennifer Taylor-Boykins

After graduating from Wayne State University, Jennifer began her career as a high school teacher in the Detroit Public Schools. Soon understanding that education was an area she felt she could be most impactful; she dedicated her life to working to improve education and educational options for students. While never leaving education, she has successfully held varying roles in educational organizations from regional vice president to senior national vice president, always knowing the importance of leading a team in delivering the best results. Cultivating, sustaining and growing business by understanding systems and processes lead to providing high-quality service to leaders in school districts around the country. In each role, Jennifer helped to significantly grow the organization while positively impacting students. This consistent path has assisted her understanding of the complex dynamics in education from inside school systems and organizations to working with school systems and organizations to advance their goals. Her perspective on a strong and accountable model of service delivery reflects those experiences. Now, as the founder and CEO of Nothing But Education, Jennifer realizes how to build capacity for school leadership by offering a strong and comprehensive service model.

Brave Hearts, a nonprofit organization also created by Jennifer, develops leadership skills for middle schools and is actively implemented in schools across the country.
