Welcome back to the podcast my friend! I'm so glad that you are here. We are sitting down with Katie Ericson who has such a unique and interesting perspective on TVI and O&M because she has a very interesting journey that she went on that is different than most other people that I know. Katie most recently worked as an itinerant TSBVI Comms with military connected students in the Pacific region.

Welcome back to the podcast. I think I love this topic so much, because as a first year teacher, you're kind of looking up at this mountain, right, and you see all these other people so much higher than you and they're doing so many amazing things.

Today's episode is going to be a little bit of a personal episode. A lot of times I come on here and I share steps to whatever A B C or three ideas for lesson plans or something of that nature. And sometimes we do have conversations with other people. But this one is really going to be personal.

Okay, let me tell you just a little bit about Lynn Gautreaux. And I'm gonna actually give him the floor and let him talk more about himself. One thing that I really like about this conversation that you're about to hear is not only a little bit of the how, of how he made these decisions, and why he decided to pursue this as an expertise, but more in the back-end of who he is as a person. That's really what makes these presentations come to life.
