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 everyone, and welcome

back to our next episode. Today, we get to meet Dr. Megan Waldron. She's currently

serving as an academic advisor and instructor at Virginia Commonwealth University. But prior to moving

to higher ed, she taught English and journalism in the public and private sectors for the past two decades.

Megan is also the owner of Smart Solutions tutoring, a full-service writing company.

Today we discuss her background, the benefits of teaching in higher ed, and the challenges

and perks of owning a business.

Hope you enjoy.
