ABOUT ALLYN ROSENBAUM

Operations Manager and FOIL Officer

She is deeply committed to working in a school that encourages acceptance thinking and offers both a refuge and launch pad for our students.

Allyn is currently in the role of Operations Manager, working to keep things running smoothly for the New Roots community. Allyn was drawn to this role to help create and support an environment of hands-on, project-based learning that boosts critical thinking, real-world problem-solving, diverse learning styles and fostering independence, resilience, and stronger social-emotional growth.

Outside of work Allyn enjoys spending time with family and friends, feeding people, and watching football. Go Bills!!
