BenchK12Founder and President
Sep. 2020United StatesLeading the Founding Team at BenchK12, the future of work for educators. BenchK12 is modern technology for State educator licensing/credentialing agencies that reduces the time it takes for an aspiring educator to get credentialed from months to days. Once credentialed, we make it easier for local education agencies to hire directly from the State's pool of credentialed educators. Eliminating costly, redundant, and time-consuming secondary application processes for candidates and schools. When a state adopts BenchK12, every local education agency gets access to our modern hiring, placement, and advancement platform for free. And that State becomes part of the BenchK12 network of states making reciprocity of credentials across those states seamless. If you're curious about how BenchK12 could partner with your State or school, just reach out! Our first five State partners recieve 1% equity in our company, preferred pricing and support, and are permanent founding members of our State Advisory board. Together, we can end educator shortages and elevate educators as the valued and gifted professionals they are. Let's build that future, today.
