The Person Behind the Work
Most AI consultants come from tech. Dr. Dreeka Owens comes from the classroom — and that changes everything.
She doesn’t approach schools as an outside technologist trying to understand education. She has lived the problems educators face — and she builds solutions from that experience.
27 years in K–12 classrooms as a teacher, instructional leader, and curriculum developer, closing learning gaps and building pathways for students who didn’t have easy access to opportunity. That work taught her one unavoidable truth: the right system, in the right hands, changes outcomes.
From there, she stepped into HR and operations — serving as HR Director and Payroll Specialist for Amazon Logistics companies through their DSP program. She managed teams, built onboarding systems, wrote SOPs, and solved real operational problems at scale.
Then she built businesses of her own — including K12 Tutor Connect, the K12 Tutor Connect Foundation, Crush My Plans, Pocket Tutor, DataForward, ClassToHome, K12 AI Connect, and Will Chase AI Solutions.
Today, as a CPD-certified AI Consultant, she brings all of it together — educational leadership, curriculum and instruction, organizational systems, HR and operations, EdTech development, and certified AI expertise — to help districts modernize systems and implement technology that actually works for teachers and students.
Her EdTech portfolio isn’t a side project. It’s evidence of how she solves problems — and why district leaders trust her to help solve theirs.
She doesn’t do fluff. She builds what works.
