Felicity Rose serves as the Vice President of Criminal Justice Research & Policy at FWD.us, where she fights for data-driven policy change in some of the nation's highest-incarcerating states.

Ms. Rose has worked in the field of criminal justice reform for more than 15 years, including leading analysis of sentencing and corrections data to inform comprehensive policy reform efforts in states across the country. She received her master's degree in public policy from the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley and her undergraduate degree from Brown University.
