Welcome to the Teacher Career Coach podcast with your new host, Elizabeth Sudo.

She started her teaching career in 2014. She found she needed a career change after all the changes that pandemic brought to the teaching world.

Welcome back to the Teacher Career Coach podcast.

Today we're so excited to interview Brandon. Brandon worked previously as a police officer, a correctional officer, and also in

retail management overseeing big box stores. He was drawn to education after that and wanting to

Recently, Brandon decided to explore the tech industry.
