I’m Michelle Marlowe.
For more than a decade, I’ve helped grow Pocket Prep from a three-person startup with a $2,000 founder investment into a $16M/year SaaS organization serving learners across 150+ certification exams.
As Director of Education, I lead content strategy, governance, and cross-functional initiatives that shape how thousands of professionals learn, prepare, and advance their careers.
What I Believe
AI will not replace educators. But it will redefine what it means to be literate, skilled, and employable.
We are entering a moment where knowing how to think matters more than memorizing what to think. Where professionals must understand not just their domain expertise, but how to work alongside intelligent systems.
Education must evolve. I believe:
Digital literacy is now a foundational skill, not an elective.
AI literacy will soon be as essential as reading and writing.
Learning science should drive product design, not the other way around.
Assessment should measure thinking, not recall.
Content systems and governance matter just as much as creativity when scaling quality education.
My Purpose
I’m building this platform to contribute to the larger conversation around AI and education, and to partner with organizations navigating this shift.
I write to explore questions like:
What does meaningful AI integration in education actually look like?
How do we design assessments in a world where generative AI exists?
What skills will matter most in the next decade?
How should leaders rethink digital literacy?
How can AI increase access without lowering standards?
I’m especially interested in helping:
Education leaders make thoughtful AI decisions
Organizations build scalable, governed content systems
Professionals develop durable, future-ready skills
Companies integrate AI responsibly into learning products
I consult on:
AI in learning products and content strategy
Digital literacy and AI literacy frameworks
Governance models for scalable educational content
Learning science in modern SaaS products
Cross-functional leadership in education technology
If you're rethinking how your organization approaches learning in the age of AI, I’d love to connect.
