Vernee Hines

As a black woman from Oakland California who grew up in public schools, she understand the historical education biases students face daily. She co-founded UpBrainery Technologies, a technology ecosystem that's disrupting educational and classroom norms through the use of the proprietary technology.

She is a STEAM Instructional Design professional with four years of experience in program development and management.

She is a Houston Transplant that got here just as the massive tech boom exploded. She managed and produced a core of programs for an international education franchise. She was a first generation college student that has watched STEM education change her world, life trajectory and the world around her. She completely pivoted from her lifelong dream of attending med school and becoming a surgeon to follow her passion and her love for educating students. Because she deeply understands the curriculum and the theory of education, she understand the biases marginalized students face every day and she co-founded UpBrainery with the goal of eliminating historical education biases, leveling the playing field for underrepresented students and providing a technology solution that reaches even the most disconnected student.
