Burke Zalosh
Consultant
Burke Zalosh is a Consultant for the firm’s Search & Consulting Group. She has been a part of CS&A for nearly 30 years, serving in several key capacities throughout her tenure. Since joining the Search Group in 2011, Burke has worked on more than 80 head of school and senior administrative searches, including PK–8 schools, K–12 schools, and religiously affiliated schools across the country.
Recent searches include Head of School searches at Friends Seminary (NY), Brookwood School (MA), Marymount School (NY), and New Roads School (CA), as well as administrative searches for Colorado Academy (CO), The Baldwin School (PA), The Hockaday School (TX), and Norfolk Academy (VA).
Prior to joining the Search Group, Burke spent nearly a decade with CS&A’s Placement Group, where she oversaw elementary, history, and English hiring for schools. In that role, she provided exceptional recruitment and customer service to hundreds of schools and candidates and facilitated thousands of successful hires. Before her work at CS&A, she was a classroom teacher at The Learning Project School (MA) and worked in the Advancement Office at The Rivers School (MA).
Burke attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart (NY) and Pine Point School (CT) before graduating from The Williams School (CT). She received her B.S. in elementary education from the University of Vermont and an M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction from Lesley University.
Burke resides in the Boston area. She enjoys running, spending time at the beach, reading a good book, and walking her very poorly trained Labrador retriever, Brewster.
