Career/field of interest:

My background is in K12 education, but from those experiences and from my recent time at HGSE, I've become increasingly interested in UX design - although I'm currently working in non-profit land as a Director of Academic Programs for the YMCA. I'm interested in connecting around this idea of career pivot from K12 education, but also very interested in moving to Atlanta from Jacksonville, FL - hoping to learn more about what Atl has to offer from a career, social, cultural, and financial standpoint :) I'd love to meet people to be potential thought partners or friends and I wouldn't mind being able to offer support to someone else who might need a listening ear.
