Leadership Team

Angie Holman, Executive Director

Angie has a passion for helping students learn. She believes that every child has the right to a quality education no matter what neighborhood they live in. After working many years in project management, engineering and operations for companies such as General Motors, General Mills and Wells Fargo Bank, Angie turned her focus to education nonprofits. In addition to serving on the board of several local K-12 PTAs and Foundations, she has dedicated time to tutoring and mentoring first-generation college students and adult immigrants. Angie joined Ravenswood Classroom Partners in 2016 after volunteering at Belle Haven School in East Palo Alto through another nonprofit. Soon after, she took on a leadership role as a Site Director at Costaño Elementary School and then in 2019 became RCP’s new Executive Director. She is excited to be working with a team of volunteer leaders who share a goal and purpose to create something sustainable and meaningful in the Ravenswood City School District.

Cristiana Freed, Program Director

As an experienced educator, and former RCP volunteer, Cristiana knows first hand the importance that caring, reliable and trained classroom volunteers can make in the lives of teachers and students. She has more than 20 years of experience as a classroom teacher and intervention specialist, spanning multiple schools and grades. Cristiana has led parent education workshops and written curriculum for a nonprofit that works with low income districts in the Bay Area. She has partnered with volunteers as both a classroom teacher and a parent association president. Cristiana is passionate about educational equity and early childhood literacy. As a volunteer with Ravenswood Classroom Partners, she was inspired to return to school to earn her M.S. in Literacy and Literacy Leadership with a Reading Specialist Certification. Cristiana is inspired by the collaboration of our volunteer leadership team with the district’s teachers and administration, all working together on our shared goal of equitable educational opportunities throughout our community.
