What the mission means to Alice
I began my career working directly with young children, in the classroom, where I immediately saw the powerful impact of strong early connections. I also saw many missed opportunities to support families, especially those navigating the most challenging circumstances. ZERO TO THREE works to ensure that we, collectively, are seizing those opportunities.
Professional Background

Future Vision
Alice works for a world in which all families are supported in the ways they most need, and where all babies and toddlers thrive. This means scaling effective population-level approaches, while ensuring flexible implementation and responsiveness to individual children, caregivers, and communities. There are no shortcuts.
