Meet Your Instructor!
I'm Dr. Vernell, the driving force and school & district pitch strategist behind PitchEDU.
With over 20 years of experience in K–12 education, I don’t just teach you how to pitch—I help you understand how real decisions get made in school districts.
I’ve served as a senior district leader, college readiness expert, and director of student support services—roles where I’ve evaluated proposals, approved vendors, and led the very initiatives entrepreneurs like you are trying to support.
As the founder of PitchEDU™, I’ve helped K–12 experts and education entrepreneurs secure more than $3 million in school contracts in just two years—without mass cold emailing or guesswork.
What sets me apart?
I’m not just a strategist. I’m the person on the other side of the table.
Inside this clinic, you’ll get real-time insights from someone who understands the full landscape:
✅ What districts need
✅ What gets approved
✅ And what makes one pitch stand out over the rest
If you're ready to learn from a leader who’s walked both paths—as an insider and as a coach—you're in the right place.
