But I think for me, thinking bigger, broader, deeper, and trying to just have a wider audience, a general degree made more sense for me. I wanted to learn about education because I just think I love teaching. I love learning and I love teaching. And I think those things come naturally to me.

So it was just an easier first step as far as another degree than trying to go get a master's in computer science. I was at that time, I was working clinically. I was getting a fellowship in ultrasound. So the technology that we use to look at your heart or the baby. And I was getting a master's in education and also a new mom during that time as well.

Sometimes you just have to say, what makes sense? What won't be causing too much stress to my life? And I think that was a degree that brought a lot of value while not also taking away from my mental health. And that was really important for me. So I have no regrets. After I finished the degree, I actually went into tech for a bit.

And I was a consultant for an ultrasound company and I was helping them build their software platform that they were going to use for the device. And so working with engineers and helping them with the user interface and experience and helping the sales team, like all of that stuff I was doing.

And I think I was very grateful that I chose that master's at that time because it was really transferable as far as the skill set.

I will say this. A lot of people have impeccable knowledge in a particular niche or craft and don't know how to teach it. And I think the biggest reason why they struggle with teaching it is because they make assumptions about their learners, what their learners know and what they're capable of learning.

What I got from that Master's of Education and what I wanted to get was the skill set of taking large concepts and breaking them down into something that is easy to understand. I didn't want to be one of those teachers who is in the front of the classroom speaking to themselves. And the students are trying to follow along.

I really wanted to learn how to engage people, how to tell stories, how to be multimedial as far as the stuff that I'm using in my lectures, how to collaborate with others as we're teaching, how to build workshops. So I wanted that depth of knowledge as someone who really loved to teach. When I was in residency,

So I wanted that depth of knowledge as someone who really loved to teach. When I was in residency,

I had to give a lot of lectures and I definitely got some feedback, but I never had anyone sit me down and say, these are the theories of learning. This is how we deliver information in a way that is evidence-based. I didn't get that type of education. I just got some on the fly feedback about my slides or about my hand gestures, about my eye contact. but not like that deeper level of knowledge.

And so when it came to selecting a master's of education, again, it felt like a natural next step because I loved learning and I wanted to learn more. But I also recognized that gap for myself as an educator where I had the enthusiasm, but I didn't really have the evidence-based practices on how to best deliver complex information in a way that is digestible.
