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.

So she transitioned outside of the classroom into an administrative assistant role and now works as an operations manager for a tech startup.

Get ready for discussions on all things related to teacher transitions, interview prep,

addressing burnout in the classroom, and so much more.

Here's your host, Elizabeth Sudo.

Welcome back to the Teacher Career Coach podcast. You can find us on all your social channels at

Teacher Career Coach or on our website, teachercareercoach.com. Hi, and welcome back to the Teacher

Career Coach podcast. Today we're very excited. We get to speak with Kate Evans. Kate went from teacher

to nonprofit manager. She's a youth programs manager that serves refugees and migrant families

in Kentucky. Her prior history includes elementary education with reading specialty in ESL,

as well as a master's in literacy education.

She was previously an elementary educator for the past eight years, and as she discovered her

passion for community outreach and support within the refugee and immigrant community, she decided

to look outside of the classroom for ways to support this passion. We talk about how those skills from teaching can translate to a nonprofit role, how her

work-life balance has changed drastically since she fell into this new position.

She's found clarity and a career that's impactful and fulfilling.

So today we hope you enjoy this episode. It brought me a lot of

joy and I hope you enjoy listening. Welcome, Kate. Hi, thanks for having me, Elizabeth. Well,

super excited to have you and spend some time today with you because you were a teacher and now

you're at a nonprofit working and supporting with refugees. So we'd love to

hear a little bit about your background. How did it all start? How did you get into education?
