Her work has focused on translating insights into practical implementation to improve student outcomes and their transition into the workforce, aligning with A&M's focus on operational improvements and efficiency.
"Maggie's expertise will be critical in helping guide school administrators to better connect the dots between education and workforce development," said Erin Covington, a Managing Director at A&M leading the Education Services practice. Covington added that Koziol is "uniquely positioned to apply a fiscal lens towards helping school systems become more operationally effective and accountable."
Koziol's hiring follows A&M's previous work with school systems in New Orleans, New York City, and St. Louis, where the firm assisted administrators with financial, operational, and technical improvements to align resources with student needs.
