Long (≈170 words)
Cassandra Jens is a software engineer, author, and homeschool parent of three based in California. Through Cassandra Connects, she builds tools, publishes books, and consults with families and educators on adaptive learning, AI in education, and the craft of homeschooling thoughtfully. She's the founder of Spellexi — a spelling practice app for homeschool families with differently wired learners — built after years of supporting her own child through reading and spelling struggles that off-the-shelf curriculum couldn't fix. She's also the author of three books on learning and AI: The AI Homeschool Revolution, Ground. Greet. Grow., and AI Everywhere. Her work sits at the intersection of pedagogy, cognitive science, and software — written for parents and educators designing learning for the kid in front of them, not the kid in the brochure. She writes regularly at cassandraconnects.com.

Themes Cassandra is well-suited to write about, be quoted on, or interviewed for.
AI in education, without the hype
A parent-first take on where AI helps (curriculum drafting, examples, review activities, adaptive feedback) and where it gets in the way of real learning.
Homeschooling differently wired learners
Supporting kids whose reading, spelling, or focus needs a different on-ramp — and building the feedback loop schools and tutors usually provide.
Mindful, rhythm-led homeschooling
Designing a homeschool day around presence, calm, and intention rather than perfect schedules — the practical version, not the Pinterest version.
Building software for families
What it takes to ship tools that actually fit family life — short sessions, light setup, parents-as-teachers — and why most ed-tech doesn't.
A founder's path from homeschool parent to product
