Background

About Avery Schaeffer

Project Manager with a strong background in public health initiatives, strategic planning, and cross-sector collaboration. At Drexel University's Eat Right Philly program, I manage complex, grant-funded projects focused on nutrition education and systems-level change, aligning program goals with regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. With a strategic, solutions-driven mindset, I lead cross-functional teams from project initiation through execution and evaluation, ensuring alignment with broader organizational objectives. I excel at identifying operational gaps, optimizing workflows, and translating community insights into actionable strategies. Grounded in equity and impact, I’m now leveraging my MBA to transition into corporate strategy, where I can drive innovation, enhance organizational effectiveness, and lead purpose-driven growth.
