WHO WE ARE
Empowering Change Makers
Edjacent defines “change makers” as individuals actively seeking to create positive social change. They innovate new approaches, develop solutions, and inspire others to join their efforts. Change makers exhibit initiative, creativity, and perseverance, mobilizing resources and people toward meaningful transformations.
Supporting Educators & Edupreneurs
At Edjacent, we believe every human is born both a teacher and a learner. Educators work to improve individuals and humanity by sharing knowledge, increasing skills, and promoting wisdom. Edupreneurs leverage their expertise and entrepreneurial mindset to create, develop, and implement initiatives, products, or services that enhance educational experiences and outcomes. They exhibit resilience, creativity, and a relentless commitment to improving education for all learners.
Nurturing Micro Business Owners
Edjacent supports individuals who run small businesses or are newly embracing the role of micro business owner. These individuals seek to monetize their expertise and collaborate with like-minded innovators. They are motivated by the need to elevate innovative ideas while maintaining their values and integrity. The term "micro" emphasizes a manageable, low-risk step towards entrepreneurship, allowing experimentation and growth without significant financial risk.

Meghan Raftery
FOUNDER
I am an instructional designer and freelance educator in Virginia Beach, currently supporting teachers, schools, districts, and organizations on innovative projects; supporting educator wellness and development; and developing curriculum. A generalist at heart, I cultivate a breadth and depth of experience both inside and outside of education. I received my teaching degree from Shippensburg University, my master’s degree from Penn State University, and endorsements from University of Virginia (gifted education) and George Washington University (administration). I am also proud to be a certified life coach.
