Maggie Bove-LaMonica has dedicated her professional career to education — as a classroom teacher, administrator, legal advocate, and now coaching teachers in growing their leadership. She is an elected member, and board president, of the Hermosa Beach City School District and an elected delegate to the California School Board Association. As a former Peace Corps volunteer, non-profit administrator, and Adjunct Professor at Loyola Marymount University, she has worked with communities in Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, San Francisco, France, and Morocco. She has spent her career on increasing equity and access for students in urban districts and focuses on building a K-16 pipeline for all kids. A native 'Angelino' and an avid surfer, Maggie resides in Hermosa Beach with her husband, three children, and their dog. She has graduate degrees in Education, Public Policy, and the Law and uses those frameworks to work on education inequality issues and access to civic engagement.
