Jocelyn Frelier, PhD

Strategist | Leader & Mentor | Educator | Writer

I value professional discomfort for the growth it facilitates and look forward to learning, no matter where this journey takes me next.

My Journey

My experience has been shaped by a series of convictions:

  • Storytelling facilitates connections between diverse people.
  • Education is key to shaping democratic futures.
  • Teams are more than a sum of their parts.

Who I Am

Those convictions have led me to pursue a Humanities PhD, to design equitable learning environments and experiential education assignments for hundreds of students, and to study the arts of leadership, mentoring, and convening people. Because I have a deep love for writing, I have partnered with dozens of publication venues (both peer-reviewed and trade) to disseminate what I know.

What I Do

Strategist

My strategic work is shaped by my love of intrapreneurship. When goals are clear and talented teams rally around them, they can build something beautiful.

Leader & Mentor

In all of my professional commitments, I support people by listening to their stories and asking them questions that challenge them to reexamine their assumptions.

Educator

Part of my professional identity stems from my training as both a humanist and a teacher. I derive joy from partnering with young people in pursuit of ambitious goals and consistently seek to connect with my day-to-day work.

Writer

My curiosities about transnational networks of people and information, as well as my expertise in writing, have resulted in the publication of my book and of dozens of essays.

Writing

A practice, not a product.

Some of my writing is now available in a variety of publications.
