About

I have over 20 years of experience in academia, where I continuously worked on issues around gender and the economy. With Snowtree Consulting, Coaching, and Training, I apply the skills and knowledge gained in all the years of scientific work to the real-world, real-time challenges facing businesses, organizations, and individuals.Alyssa Schneebaum, Ph.D.

As I considered my next steps after academia, I asked a student-turned-research assistant-turned-coauthor-turned-friend what she thought I ought to do. She said that I “should be me, just louder.” With my work in Snowtree Consulting, Coaching, and Training, I get to do exactly that. I apply my interest and passion for questions about gender relations and economics to a broader audience: businesses, organizations, teams, and individual people. Still, I work with and in the academic community, giving trainings, coaching, and keynotes. Snowtree CCT is here to support anyone who wants to tap into the unique expertise on questions around gender, economics, and science.
