About Catherine

A Classroom Insider, Now in Your Corner

I'm Catherine Brennan — a licensed educator, tech specialist, and mom who has spent over 15 years at the intersection of education and technology. I've taught in Chicago Public Schools, Glenview, and River Forest, and I currently serve as an Instructional Tech Specialist, training teachers and building AI curriculum.

I know exactly what's happening inside schools — what teachers are using, what students are navigating, and what most parents are never told. Keight Consulting exists to close that gap.

"Parents shouldn't have to guess what their kids need to succeed in a tech-driven future. I've spent 15 years inside those classrooms — and I'm here to tell you exactly what I see."

You're in the Right Place If…

Sound Familiar?

You care deeply about your child's future — but the world of tech education feels overwhelming, fast-moving, and hard to navigate alone.

😰

"I don't even know what my kid is doing online."You want to stay informed and involved, but technology keeps changing faster than you can keep up.

🤷

"Is my child's school actually preparing them for the future?"You're not sure if what's being taught today will matter in 10 years — and no one at school is giving you straight answers.

🤖

"Everyone's talking about AI, but what does that mean for my kid?"You hear about AI constantly but aren't sure if it's helping or hurting your child's education.

🗺️

"I want to set my child up for a tech career, but where do I start?"The path from curious kid to tech-ready young adult feels unclear — and you don't want to miss the window.
