Most recently, Dr. Loyd served as the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education at the U.S. Department of Education. In her past roles, both as Vice President at Jobs for the Future and as Director of Education at Cook Inlet Tribal Council, she has demonstrated a steadfast dedication to providing students of all ages, backgrounds, and career stages with equitable opportunities to acquire new skills and secure good-paying jobs.

Throughout my career, I have been passionate about creating pathways for all students to achieve their full potential. I look forward to building on All4Ed’s strong foundation and driving forward our mission to provide equitable educational opportunities for all,” stated Dr. Loyd.

She is a native of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
All4Ed is a national nonprofit advocacy organization committed to expanding equitable educational opportunities for students of color, students from low-income families, and other marginalized groups. We advance transformation from the classroom to Congress by advocating for federal, state, and local policies and practices that ensure all students graduate high school prepared for college, work, and life.
