Why Join Us?
Nidhi Patel - Senior Associate
Public education has been a core focus of Nidhi’s experience and interest. Notably, her involvement with an international NGO dedicated to providing job opportunities to youth in the Middle East and North Africa opened her eyes to the struggles and capacity constraints abroad, while her experience as a Consultant for the Chicago Public Schools and the District of Columbia Public Schools examining residential education, after school programming and grievance procedures centralized the need for support here in the U.S.
A graduate of the Chicago Public School systems, Nidhi holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology and political science from The University of Chicago, as well as an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business with a focus in entrepreneurship and finance.

When I learned about how DMC works with districts to unleash this amazing potential and help districts develop and build capacity to improve focus on student achievement, I knew it was a good fit."
