About Karla Schilling

I'm a K-12 EdTech sales professional with a passion for connecting schools with tools that transform learning. Over my career, I've worked at multiple EdTech companies, helping districts adopt reading, math, and digital learning solutions that improve student outcomes. Along the way, I've built a diverse professional background that includes business-to-business sales in education, technology, communications, and publishing, as well as experience in mental health and anthropology-focused education. This variety has shaped my consultative approach and ability to understand unique client needs. In my most recent role at Amira Learning, I embraced AI to enhance the classroom experience — from integrating voice recognition to streamlining instructional tools. I also leverage AI in my daily workflow and sales strategy to drive efficiency and innovation. Career Highlights: Managed statewide territories and multi-year subscription renewals with high retention. Built long-term district partnerships and expanded adoption of educational products. Skilled in consultative, needs-based selling and supporting implementation for public and private schools. Outside of work, I enjoy coordinating social and artistic group outings, listening to inspiring podcasts (especially biographies), and exploring new ways to connect with people and ideas.
