How This All Started
This didn't start as a business. It started with a yes.
KP Charter Kollective exists because two school founders believed in me before I believed in myself. This is that story.
The founders who built this with me
Every great business starts with
someone who believed first.
These leaders didn't just hire KPCK — they helped shape what it became. Their trust is the foundation everything else is built on.
2021 — Where It All Began
Nandi Edouard — The One Who Started Everything.
In mid-to-late 2021, I got my first call from a charter school founder. That founder was Nandi Edouard, and Simple Vue Academy was the first charter school I ever worked with.
Nandi was building something rare — a school rooted in community, in belonging, in the belief that education should feel like home. She was patient, generous, and willing to give an opportunity to someone who was still figuring it all out. She taught me how a charter school actually gets built from the ground up — the petitions, the people, the politics, the heart behind it all.
But Nandi didn't just hire a consultant. She welcomed me into her community. And when things weren't perfect — when I made mistakes, when the learning curve was steep — she never stopped believing in me. She kept showing up. Kept referring. Kept opening doors.
"Nandi has sent dozens of clients my way, given me an enormous introduction to the Atlanta charter school scene, and has been with me since day one. Through every version of this business, she has been a constant."
Simple Vue Academy isn't just a client. Nandi Edouard is at the core of everything I've built. This firm would not exist without her. KP Charter Kollective is hers too.
2024 — Deepening the Mission
Chrissy Keck — Who Kept the Mission Going.
In 2024, Nandi made a phone call. She recommended me to another Atlanta founder — Chrissy Keck, who was in the early stages of building The Meliora School. The school was still waiting on approval. The work was still ahead of her.
Chrissy came in at a pivotal moment — when KPCK had proven its model but was still building its reach. Working with The Meliora School gave me the chance to once again walk alongside a founder from the very beginning — the pre-approval uncertainty, the brand decisions that happen before a single student is enrolled, the community-building that has to start long before opening day.
Much like Nandi, Chrissy didn't keep me to herself. She referred other schools across the Atlanta metro, expanding my reach and deepening our connection to the Georgia charter community.
"Chrissy has helped carry this mission forward in ways that go beyond any single project. Her belief in what I'm building — and her willingness to champion it — has meant more than she knows."
The Meliora School represents what I do best: showing up early, earning trust, and building something lasting together. Chrissy Keck is proof that this work compounds when the right people find each other.
The journey
From one website to
a firm built for this work.
2020
KP Kollective is born
What started as web and branding work for a single school grew into a calling. The first client called. Then another. Then another.
2022 – 2023
Enrollment strategy takes shape
We stopped just building websites and started building systems — enrollment pipelines, campaigns, and the frameworks schools actually needed.
2024
Charlotte Top 30 Under 30
Named one of Charlotte's top young leaders. A milestone — but the work was always bigger than the recognition.
2025
KPCK formally established — and the Suite launches
KP Charter Kollective becomes a full consulting firm serving NC, GA, TX, and TN. The KPCK Suite — Enroll, Hub, and Scholars — goes live for clients.
Now
Still in it. Still growing.
We show up differently than anyone else in this space — because we've lived the work, not just studied it.
What drives what I do
My clients didn't just hire me.
They taught me everything.
Every framework I've built, every strategy I've refined — it came from being in the room with two founders who were brave enough to trust me before I had all the answers.
Lesson learned
Trust is the strategy.
Nandi handed me the keys before I had a playbook. That leap of faith taught me what it actually means to show up for a founder — and set the standard for every client relationship since.
Lesson learned
Brand is the first impression families never forget.
Working alongside Chrissy showed me that a school's identity isn't decoration — it's the first thing a family decides to trust or walk away from. Get the brand right and everything downstream gets easier.
What I carry into every engagement
Built from lived experience
I've navigated these systems as a parent and advocate — not just a consultant.
No handoffs, no disappearing
Real presence inside your enrollment window, your decisions, your hard moments.
Systems over one-time campaigns
Infrastructure that outlasts any single season — so you're not starting over every year.
