Meet Our TEAM

Early Beginnings

As a graduate student at Penn State University in The College of Education in the early 2000s, founder Linsey Covert became curious and passionate about how school systems were supporting and educating students on the importance of relationship building, teaching social & emotional skills and overall how being part of something bigger than yourself, a team, could have a positive impact on their futures.

She discovered that with so much focus being on academics there was little room in most schools for focus on anything related to social, emotional and mental health. Her graduate research and work motivated her to want to learn more and inspired her to begin the development of what is now the critical work behind TEAMology.
