Leilani Lamb

Leilani has over a decade of experience working at the intersection of higher education, health systems, workforce, and K-12 programs and policy. Mental health is critical to student persistence and achievement across the education continuum, but students do not exist in siloes. Leilani works with partners across systems to translate their successes in mental health programming into sustainable, scalable transformations that support the health and wellbeing of students in their communities.

Prior to joining the Meadows Institute, Leilani worked at Educate Texas supporting and growing the organization’s extensive higher education, workforce, and K-12 policy portfolios. Leilani completed her Master of Public Health at the University of Texas School of Public Health and her Master of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. She holds undergraduate degrees in both Government and Political Communications, also from the University of Texas at Austin.
