We are thrilled to announce Maggie Cooper as our new Vice President of Learning Experiences! 

Maggie most recently was leading HR at a client of Electives and now she'll be helping HR and People Leaders design unique learning experiences and curriculum for their employees. 

Maggie: Prior to joining the Electives team, I was running HR + Hiring at a Real Estate Investment + Property Management company based out of Aspen, CO. As the Head of HR + Hiring at Cooper Street Capital, I brought Electives to our managers and leaders; and of course the classes were a huge hit! 

For the bulk of my career prior to Cooper Street Capital, I have worked in Education. I began my career as a middle and high school teacher with KIPP charter schools in Washington DC and then San Francisco, CA. Next, I moved out of the classroom into the talent space working for a growing charter school organization (Caliber Schools) also in the Bay Area. At Caliber, I was the Head of Talent + Communications and in that role learned so much of what I know now about organizational culture, growth, retention, people development, diversity, equity and inclusion, and more.

From the first call I had with Jason in January of 2021, I knew that the company was going to do great things. Electives is a dream for me as I am able to merge my pure love of learning (and enabling learning for others) with my experience in teaching, organizational growth, and people development. I am beyond excited to learn, grow, and work with the Electives team, clients, and teachers for many months and years to come.

What would be your dream Elective to take? 

Maggie:  If I could take an Elective from anyone (dead or alive), I would choose Barack Obama.

Maggie:  The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green

Maggie:  I live in Aspen, CO with my husband and two daughters: Ayla (4) and Hannah (2). Outside of work you'll find me skiing, biking, hiking, running, swimming, and enjoying the amazing mountains of Colorado. I also love a good 'foodie' experience, farmers market, or park play session with my two girls.

From all of us in the Electives community, the warmest of welcomes!
