Meet Our Founder

Commonwealth Consulting Agency, LLC was founded by Kristan Rodriguez, Ph.D. Dedicated to bringing resources to the island of Puerto Rico, she created a company to be operated from the shores of the island. 

Dr. Rodriguez spent her childhood living and learning all over the world. From Europe to Africa to Asia, she attended many prestigious American and International schools across the globe. This experience gave her great insight into the value of global perspectives and the importance of collaboration and community. This work translated into a project that earned her the the Ansin Intercultural Research Award from Boston University. 

 

Kristan moved to Boston, Massachusetts while attending

university and lived in the Commonwealth with her husband

for over 20 years. There she received three college degrees,

raised her three sons, and had a successful career in public

education, rising to the rank of Superintendent of Schools.

Prior to her transition into consulting, Dr. Rodriguez

received an overall rating of "Exemplary", the highest rating

granted in her field. As a result of her leadership, students

in her district made unprecedented growth. Her work was

highlighted in a Department of Education case study. Much of this work was outlined in her book Universally Designed Leadership.

Kristan transitioned into running a number of successful Florida based businesses and began providing consulting services to help schools and corporations achieve success. Dr. Rodriguez has since provided dynamic support to hundreds of organizations.
