Joy Delizo-Osborne

Bio

President & CEO of Student Achievement Partners

Joy Delizo-Osborne started teaching as a Breakthrough Collaborative intern at the ripe old age of 18, and has not stopped since. Even now, after being out of school buildings for a number of years, she spends her spare time tutoring middle and high school students in writing. She believes that anything she can do to make this education system one that sees and values each and every student is worthwhile. The work she does at SAP feels like it is chipping away at that challenge each and every day.

Joy has a B.A. in English and Women’s Studies from Pomona College, as well as a Master’s in Education from Claremont Graduate University. She has spent over a decade in school buildings in the Bronx, Harlem, and the Bay Area in various roles, including teacher, instructional coach and principal. Joy then worked at Education Resource Strategies as a School Design Lead before joining SAP in 2019.

Ms. Delizo-Osborne joined the BSCS Board of Directors in 2025.
