Catherine Willmott

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Princeton University, a business degree from the J.L Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I’m currently writing my dissertation to complete my Education Doctoral degree through Lewis & Clark College. I worked in management consulting and investment banking in New York City for 17 years prior to moving to Portland, Oregon, with my family in 2010. My formative experiences as a parent at City & Country School in New York and Opal Beginning School of the Portland Children’s Museum influenced my current work as an advocate for bringing high-quality, inquiry-based early learning experiences to historically underserved children and families. In 2014, I partnered with Judy Graves to co-found Teaching Preschool Partners.
