  • Episode 6: Shaping the Mom
    May 30 2022

    Some people are born to be teachers. No matter how hard they resist the calling to the profession, they eventually end up doing the one thing they said they'd never do. But being a teacher doesn't always mean staying in the classroom for 20+ years. There are so many ways to be a teacher these days including tutor, coach, mentor, or mom! 

    Today, on Office Hours I sat down with Health and Fitness Coach, Bridget Quinn to discuss her evolution from being an elementary school teacher to being the relatable social media influencer behind Shaping the Mom.

  • Episode 5: Office Hours - Never Say "Never"
    May 23 2022

    Never say "never"! That's the moral of the story when it comes to navigating through education and life post-graduation. The truth is that we never really know where life will take us. Though the path may be unexpected, it is full of signs that guide you from one point to the next. You just have to keep your eyes open and be ready to move in directions you never thought you would.   

    Today on OfficeHours I chat with fellow professor Krisler Bailey about her journey to places she never thought she'd go; from healthcare, to sales, to teaching, and whatever comes next!

  • Episode 3: Five Tips on How Creatives Can Curate Their Personal Brand
    May 9 2022

    A creative's brain is rarely satisfied with a single task and a creative's life is rarely content with a single occupation. To some, it may seem like artistic people are lost or indecisive, jumping from one career path to the next without ever finding their one true passion. In fact, they are so passionate about so many things that their lives are better served doing everything they love to achieve true fulfilment. 

    In today's episode of Office Hours, I'm pleased to welcome Chanté Franco, Personal Branding Unicorn, Podcast Creator and Host, Self-Love Advocate to share her five tips on how creatives can curate their personal brand to be dynamic and authentic. These tips are universal and can easily be applied to students and professionals alike.

  • Office Hours | Interview with Selena Conmackie
    May 4 2022

    Being a military spouse can be lonely, but it is what you make it. Survival often depends on one's ability to create their own happiness, which often means networking with other like-minded spouses and defining yourself as more than just a dependent. While challenging, it is possible to create and maintain a business that travels wherever the military sends you. The benefits of being employed go beyond just financial gain; confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging to a community are a few of the many intangible rewards of finding "your people" within the vast range of personalities. Join me today during Office Hours as I sit down with Selena Conmackie, Social Media genius and owner of a successful web design company that makes her Hauoli...that's Happy in Hawaiian!
