After earning her Master’s of Education in School Counseling, she worked as a Career Development Coordinator (helping school counselors enhance career development practices), and then as a High School Counselor in Career and Technical Education. After several years as a school counselor, Bethanie fell in love with the practice of coaching, and became a Certified Mindful Change Coach.
