Cofounder, CEO
Jason
Jason is the co-founder and CEO of Transizion. He got his start in mentorship and education as a career ambassador at the George Washington University. After graduating, he volunteered in Washington, DC, helping low-income and underserved students with the college and career process. When one of his students earned over $700,000 in scholarships, parents and students in the community encouraged Jason to start his own education company. That's how Transizion was born.
Jason loves reading anything related to military history, the building of America, and biographies. He's a Brazilian Jiujitsiu purple belt and former nationally ranked boxer. Blessed with good looks and presidential charisma, Jason takes pride in being every dog's best friend and improving his subpar math skills. His dream is to either see a real dinosaur or an alien - both of which seem like a pipedream.
Cofounder, CTO
Dharik
Dharik is the co-founder and CTO of Transizion. He starting web development in middle school, create the coolest AIM profiles or tools for him and his friends to find overlapping class schedules in the upcoming year. That passion turned into a career in education technology.
Dharik enjoys tricking (a mix of martial arts and gymnastics, imagine angry ballet), training his dog Freddie, and doing DIY projects around the house. His dream is to keep his ability to backflip up until he's 45.
Product and Operations Lead
Beverly
Beverly first realized that she loved mentoring while at boarding school, where she tutored students with learning disabilities. While getting her degree in Brain and Cognitive Science from MIT, she helped her peers apply to graduate school and then again when they needed help writing their theses. When her frustrations with the US healthcare system encouraged her to leave medicine, she joined Transizion so she could use her writing skills and life experience to help others.
When not working, Beverly embraces her nerddom. Her ideal long weekend includes reading all 480K+ words in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, farming with international friends in Stardew Valley, and playing Dungeons and Dragons. While no longer a practicing physician, she still reads her favorite medical journals and insists on good nutrition, much to her husband's dismay. She also loves making (terrible) art, so her dream is to have a dedicated crafts room where she never has to clean up her "toys."
Sales and Marketing Lead
Ali
Ali is a college and career counselor by trade. She started working with students in the school setting as a teacher, then a college counselor, before she moved on to work for start-up companies in the Ed-Tech space. The thing that Ali has loved most about working with Transizion is the impact their mentors have on the lives of young people. She often tells people her life purpose is to help people identify and pursue their passions.
Ali has a loving husband and two beautiful children. Some of her favorite places are the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii. Ali loves spending time outside with her family, encouraging people, volunteering in her community, making new friends, reading a good book on a beach, and begrudgingly running. Her motto is to “build bridges not burn them down” no matter the topic or situation. Her dream is to find contentment in all of life's moments- big and small.
