Nate joins GPI after a decade of working in education and community engagement. After moving to Tulsa in 2012 with Teach For America, Nate found his passion in serving students as a high school English teacher. After six years working as a teacher, school administrator, and district manager, Nate shifted to work in community organizing and engagement with the Met Cares Foundation. There, he and his team worked alongside community members to develop, launch, and manage innovative programs to reduce inequities and expand opportunities for all who call Tulsa home.

Nate has also worked as a contributing writer and editor for a Tulsa-based newspaper and as a communications and social media manager for multiple grassroots and electoral campaigns in Oklahoma. In his spare time, you can find him traveling, kayaking, on his Peloton, or nerding out over politics.
