"I went to my undergraduate, um, career thinking I was gonna be a K-12 teacher."

"you get to work on a lot of different projects and connect with a lot of different departments and functions and different people."

"So, um, again, as I mentioned, you know, I'm kind of functioning like a consultant within the business, so it is very project based."

"Being able to connect with, build relationships with people, communicate with people, um, get their trust, get their buy-in. Very important."

"I'm a person that really thrives on problem solving and also a little bit of novelty."

"the challenge behind it is really being able to connect with people and get the ship moving in the same direction"

"Another benefit or thing that I really like about my industry is it has a lot of educators in it or people who have had experiences that make them wanna work in education."

"People you find working in EdTech are interested in some way, shape or form about education. And they want to improve or help think about what the future state of education could look like."

"You're gonna have to reconcile those two things a little bit. Education, especially K-12 public education, it's a different pace."

"There are a few different paths that could be really interesting and I think really helpful for you."

"One of the most important things probably can't be overstated, is the connections that you make with different people that you work with."

"Every position that I've had...has been because of an introduction from someone at some point that helped kind of warm that pathway."
