Julia is an educator turned content developer for Clarity. As a classroom teacher Julia used innovative teaching methods and materials with her middle school students. Julia discovered online learning and took courses which led to facilitating online courses as well as writing content for these courses in multiple platforms. She transitioned to a district level position where she planned, facilitated and supported professional staff development.

As our Technology & Engineering Manager, Jon maintains all aspects of our technology infrastructure: servers, applications, processes and support. His effort enables us to collaborate, grow and adapt to emerging trends in technology. When he’s not leading our engineering team, he’s advising clients about best practices for system design, scale and support.

As our work grows more into interactive media, Meighan has the expertise to deliver results. She has twenty years experience developing, writing and producing primetime broadcasts, and nationally distributed educational, professional development and training programs. With a background as an educator and experience as a media producer, her strength lies in understanding how to move complex content into appropriate media platforms, while creating compelling stories.

Jim has extensive experience in educational software development, educational research and program evaluation. While he has directed countless projects using each of these skills, his most valuable strength is in combining the three areas.
