Through various roles, Cheyenne has designed and led schools, overseen strategic planning and growth for a school network, managed school principals and network staff, and coached instructional leaders and teachers. She actively supported a $50M fundraising campaign that resulted in the erection of a new $30M education facility in New York City. As Program Manager at Grow Network/McGraw-Hill, she drove forward complex product deliveries in education assessment data reporting. She has also served as a managing director on the senior leadership team of an education nonprofit. She is a TED-Ed Masterclass keynote speaker and also sits on the board of Our Voice Alliance, a growing nonprofit fellowship program for educators of color.

An alumna of New York City public schools and the first in her family to graduate college, Cheyenne graduated with a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an Ed.M. in Education Policy & Management from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and an Ed.D. in Education Policy and Leadership from American University. Her multi-award winning dissertation research focused on interpersonal conflict experienced by Black women leaders managing interracial teams. The community Cheyenne cultivated through her research is a reflection of her approach to building trust amongst the leaders she supports.
