Our Team
Kelly Lewis-Pratl: B2B and Brand Marketing
I have learned from “groundwires” most of my life. Those who have been the reassuring voice that says, "you've got this," and who have shown by example what an authentic commitment to doing what’s right, not easy, looks like. These lessons have become my guiding principles, and have led me throughout my 20+ years in advertising, marketing, and communications. I believe deeply in lifelong learning, in all its forms. I’m driven by delivering exceptional outcomes, collaborating with others to solve problems, and fostering growth and development. And I possess an unwavering passion for shaping brand, B2B marketing, and communication strategies that improve awareness and engagement. I invite you to review my resume and visit my LinkedIn profile to learn how my experiences and skills might help advance your brand initiatives by working with groundwirED.
Krystal Lewis-Pratl: Education & Training
My natural passion for learning has been a driving force throughout my life. It led me to pursue a career as a Special Education teacher for 15 years, during which I devoted myself to nurturing learners, supporting educators, and advocating for educational excellence. Being a National Board Certified Teacher, I am committed to mentoring and guiding future educators toward expertise in their field. I transitioned into higher education thirteen years ago as a clinical coordinator, where I have been focused on innovating teaching techniques and improving learning outcomes. I am honored to have received the Outstanding University Teacher Award and to have earned my doctoral degree in 2021. As a consultant, I offer a unique combination of practical classroom experience, pedagogical expertise, and technological proficiency to assist educators and institutions with achieving their full potential in delivering quality education for all.
