Education
In this episode, I have the honor and the privilege to sit down with a woman that inspires me, and many others every day, Natalie Bassett. Natalie has been involved in education for many years and she currently works as a Kindergarten Teacher on the English side of a Two-Way Immersion Dual Language Elementary School. She also worked for many years during college as a lead mentor functioning as a liaison between Western Washington University and the Burlington Edison School District. She oversaw the college mentors placed in the school district and mentored students in elementary, middle, and high school. She was also an assistant coach for the program Girls On The Run which aims to empower young girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident through running. In addition, she founded a small business called FairhavenTeach which is a private tutoring program offered during the summer months for children in Kindergarten - 8th grade. Meanwhile, this superwoman has also knocked out 4 half marathons and is currently training for her 5th. It goes without saying that Natalie is passionate about the field of education and her craft. I love her tenacious spirit and unwavering commitment to accomplish whatever it is she sets out for. I hope her story inspires you to chase what you're passionate about, stand resilient in the face of challenges, and go outside of your comfort zone to explore trails less traveled and tap into your limitless potential.
