Our Team

Jenelle McClenahen, CEO & Founder

Jenelle McClenahen is the CEO & Founder of Symplifyed, a company born from her firsthand experience as a classroom educator. What began as a way to survive a chaotic year in her own classroom turned into a powerful system of intentional goal-setting and progress-monitoring that delivered transformative student growth. Her work is driven by the deeply-held belief that every data point represents a real child and that a focused plan can make all the difference, a perspective forged both in the classroom and as a parent working with her son's autism diagnosis. As CEO, Jenelle guides Symplifyed with a singular question: “What if every teacher was the best teacher they’ve ever had?”
