From Courtney herself:
I taught high school English for 4 years at a public school in the Washington DC metro area. While I enjoyed the act of teaching, the unrealistic demands of the position and lack of compensation made me realize that it was not sustainable for a well-balanced life.
2 years in, I decided to go back to school to earn my master’s degree in Higher Education Administration. In the spring of my 4th year in the classroom, I finished my degree and was offered a job in graduate admissions for a university. I took that position and haven’t looked back.
College admissions is my day job. The extra free time I’ve gained has allowed me to start a business that helps other people make career transitions through tailored resume and cover letter writing. I’ve found such peace and clarity since getting out of teaching, and I hope to help others do the same.
