Episode description

In this episode, I get to chat with Ann Lopez, creator of The Pivoter website, which is chock FULL of free resources for those looking to change careers and enter the field of L&D. 

3 years ago, Ann pivoted out of teaching and found her true calling working in the education technology sector. In 2020, when schools were forced to move to remote learning due to the pandemic, she decided to transition back to public education and supported teachers with technology integrations. 

She has since worked as a learning experience designer and is now a product operations manager for an ed tech company. 

When Ann is not geeking out on new technologies, she's a full-time mom to two little kiddos and likes to work on some passion projects to help others. She's also a volunteer mentor for a group called Teaching: A Path to Learning & Development, where she help teachers who are interested in transitioning out of the classroom.
