Why I Choose to Work at Academic Innovation

I chose to work at CAI to apply the skills I acquired working for for-profit companies toward a cause I am passionate about. I value education and believe everyone should have equal access to its benefits. At CAI, I get the opportunity to work on innovative and novel education technologies with a great group of talented people who come from diverse backgrounds.
