What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
I work at a startup. I was the first person hired other than the founders, so I wear many hats.
I work on curriculum development and the text side, and I manage coaches who work with students. The great thing about my job is that every day is different.
I get to exercise different parts of my brain—business acumen, teaching acumen, and curriculum development acumen—all at once.
