Director of Youth Policy & Advocacy
Dexter O'Connell has been with SPY since June 2022, doing policy and advocacy work. His proudest achievements are contributing to the substantial countywide expansion of FYI Vouchers and the successful passage of Measure A. Previous to that his professional experience includes being a City Planner (in Charleston, SC and Chico, CA), a City Council Staff Member (here in LA), and a public school teacher (Spanish and Aircraft Maintenance). He grew up in Venice and now lives in Mar Vista with his fiancee and their dog (Odessa) and cat (Kevin). In his free time he enjoys reading (mostly sci-fi), cooking (mostly poorly), and coaching the two-time-defending Los Angeles City Champion girls lacrosse team at Pali High.
