From Wall Street to Redefining Purpose with Christine Lai

Welcome to Coffee With Convery, the podcast that’s your launchpad for career inspiration.

Today’s guest is someone who didn’t just notice a broken system, she chose to stand between families and it.

Christine Lai is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Special Education Legal Fund.

Since 2018, her work has helped provide over $1.3million in grants and thousands of hours of legal support to families navigating special education, families who too often feel unheard, overwhelmed, or alone.

Christine’s journey spans Wall Street to nonprofit leadership, but this conversation isn’t about titles.

It’s about advocacy.

About translating skills into meaningful impact.

And about building systems that protect families when they need it most.
