Tim Shade

Tim began working at Watershed in 2021, after studying Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. His work at Watershed has included: supporting a nonprofit to expand access to dedicated college and career advising in rural high schools and train advisors in both virtual and in-person settings, supporting state agencies to design and implement state-wide initiatives for increasing access to postsecondary opportunities, modeling shifts in state accountability formula parameters, and monitoring trends in state education legislation nation-wide.

As Manager of Organizational Strategy, Tim supports Watershed teams to share insights across policy areas, codify and implement the “Watershed Way” in their work, and communicate insights with broader audiences.

Tim was born and raised in Maryland and feels most at home on a racquetball court or mountain trail.
