Sue Park is Senior Advisor and former CEO of Yu Ming Charter School, a network of TK-8 public schools in Oakland and San Leandro and California's first Mandarin immersion charter. Diverse by design, Yu Ming provides an academically rigorous, learner-centered, whole-child education to students from many racial, ethnic, language, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Under Sue's leadership, Yu Ming consistently achieved among the highest academic outcomes in California – for all students and for those historically furthest from opportunity – earning California Distinguished School and National Blue Ribbon School awards and ranking #7 Best Elementary School in California by U.S. News.

Sue currently leads the Yu Ming Multilingual Institute, partnering with public school systems to translate equity vision into coherent instructional improvement for multilingual learners. Previously, she served as Senior Vice President of Programs at Camino Nuevo Charter Academy, where she led a comprehensive continuum of integrated support from Pre-K through college completion. She has also served as a bilingual elementary teacher, principal, Vice President at Teach For America, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Women's Foundation, and founding staff member at Teach For All. Sue was awarded the 2021 Hart Vision Award from the California Charter Schools Association and throughout her career has been committed to creating the enabling conditions for leaders, educators, and students to thrive. Sue holds a BA with honors from UC San Diego, a JD from UC Berkeley, an M.Ed. from UCLA, and is a doctoral candidate in Education Leadership at Harvard. She's happiest exploring new recipes and restaurants, walking Bay Area trails, and traveling with her husband and three children.
