Rebecca Laoch

Rebecca is passionate about education and increasing equitable access to educational opportunities for all students. She began her career as a public middle school social studies teacher, teaching in a Title I school in an inclusion classroom. After leaving the classroom, she spent nine years working in education policy and program management at the state and school district levels leading sensitive, high-profile education projects with diverse stakeholder groups at multiple levels of government.

Rebecca primarily leads projects in FLO’s school district sector including student enrollment forecasting, school choice analysis, school program analysis, school capacity and utilization analysis, and school boundary analysis projects. She also leads political redistricting projects and local government projects.

Rebecca enjoys getting to work with clients across the country and creating innovative, tailored project plans that meet their specific needs. Rebecca prioritizes communicating regularly with her clients so that they are informed and can provide iterative feedback throughout the process. She ensures that projects are completed within scope, budget, and schedule while also creating room for flexibility in project plans so that work can be adapted throughout the project if a client’s needs change. 

Rebecca is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and in her free time enjoys hiking, bantering with friends, reading, traveling, and playing with her goldendoodle, Samwise Gamgee.
