Amber Kraus Email & Phone Number

I began my career in Rockford, Illinois, where I worked as kindergarten teacher right out of college and then moved to Denver, Colorado in 2012 where I taught second grade. My commitment to lifelong learning led me to continue my own education at the University of Colorado-Denver, earning a graduate certificate in Administrative Leadership and Policy Studies.A move back to the St. Louis area lead me to entering the world of marketing and student recruitment for a network of charter schools in South St. Louis City, where I helped to open four new schools over just five years.During that time, I stepped into a national role, managing communications and student recruitment for 16 schools across the country. This is where I had the opportunity to gain experience with a wide range of skills, from fundraising and donor management to crisis communication and non-profit management.In 2019 I used my unique combination of an education background and marketing expertise to launch Rise Marketing Solutions. It started small—a few social media clients looking for guidance. But word spread, and the demand grew. Four years later, the company has blossomed into a full-service marketing and consulting business.Today, Rise Marketing Solutions offers an extensive range of services from small business marketing to non-profit donor management, school startups, and student recruitment. I've helped over 70 organizations expand their reach and further their missions, and look forward to working with many more.

Listed skills include Educational Leadership, Community Outreach, Elementary Education, Charter Schools, and 27 others.
