Although I have a BA in Economics and an MBA, I was dissatisfied
with my career in provider relations at an HMO. I did not return to work
after my first child was born in 1993, and had a second child three
years later. In 2001, my younger son entered kindergarten and I went
back to school to get my teaching credential through an alternative
credentialing program. I began as an elementary school art teacher
first full time in Texas and now 25 hours per week in California. It was
quite a journey, and it times it was very difficult. It required me to leave
my comfort zone. But I know this is the career for me. It doesn't even
feel like work.
