Our Knack Pack
We are a team of educators, higher-ed champions, product builders, and problem solvers. We wake up every day obsessed with a single mission to help universities scale support, empower student workers, and build communities where every student feels like they belong.

Megan Dusenbery
Chief Executive Officer
"I've built my career around creating partnerships with institutions that connect them to solutions designed to improve student success. I believe deeply in the opportunities education creates, and I'm passionate about helping ensure every student has the support they need to reach their full potential."

William Kelly
Chief Operating Officer
"I completed the first Knack tutoring session outside of the state of Florida, tutoring Calc 3 in August of 2016."

David Stoker
Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer
"David first connected with Knack's founder in 2012 in the basement of the UF library to discuss an app for Greek life. While that didn't pan out, he reached back out in early 2015 to pitch the idea for Knack. David took a chance on the vision and has been leading development ever since!"

Page Keller
Vice President of Academic Relations
"I spent more than 25 years in higher ed before joining Knack and also had the privilege of serving as President of the CRLA. My career began as a peer chemistry tutor in college, which sparked a lifelong passion for peer learning."

Blair Maloney
Vice President of Partner Success
"As an undergraduate, I traveled to South Africa to research and write my thesis on the roles of women during Apartheid, an experience that deepened my interest in leadership, equity, and social impact."

Allyson Tlacoxolal
Vice President of Marketing
"I started college on a full academic scholarship, driven by a passion to teach. To scale my impact, I transitioned from the classroom to marketing for major education companies like Knack—shifting from helping dozens of students to improving the college experience for millions."
Our Advisory Councils
Higher education moves fast, and student needs change even faster. To ensure Knack remains the most effective scalable peer tutoring partners, we collaborate directly with the people who know campus best.
