Juliana Finegan

Juliana Finegan is Chief Product Officer at FullScale, a national nonprofit advancing personalized, competency-based, and whole-child learning. With more than 20 years across K–12 classrooms, nonprofits, research, higher education, and edtech, she brings a practitioner’s lens to systems change and helps promising innovations move from ideas to sustainable practice. A former Title I science and chemistry teacher, adjunct professor, researcher, Teach For America alum, and Managing Partner at The Learning Accelerator, Juliana has partnered with education systems across the country and around the globe to design, implement, and scale new approaches to teaching and learning through the strategic use of technology.

A lifelong athlete who played multiple sports growing up, Juliana is especially passionate about the intersection of athletics, academics, and whole-child development. She has consulted with SPIRE Academy and supports multiple edtech organizations exploring how athletics, performance, and mindset can be more intentionally connected to competency-based and personalized learning. As both an educator and a parent, she is committed to bringing these worlds together so young people see themselves not simply as students or athletes, but as learners - with the agency, relationships, skills, and support to thrive in school, sport, and life, now and in the future.

Outside of work, Juliana is a proud PNW girl mom living in Seattle with her husband, two daughters, and two pups.
