Background

About Annie Li

I’m a qualitative and quantitative researcher and storyteller with experience and passion for early childhood policy and programs. I bring people together through participatory research and design, making sure lived experiences shape the solutions we create. Whether it’s leading a workshop or crafting a compelling story from research findings, I help translate complex ideas into meaningful action. My work thrives at the intersection of community, strategy, and impact, with a particular focus on supporting educators, families, and young children. I completed my MPP from Harris at UChicago and have a BA in Sociology with a focus on race and inequality from Harvard. The intersectional identities I draw on in life and work include being queer, Asian-American, daughter of immigrant parents, 1st generation in college, cis-gendered and my former experiences as a School District of Philadelphia graduate, student activist, sociologist, and non-profit staff member.
