@EllisCrawford thank you so much for sharing your experiences! I'm seeing lots about people leaving teaching at the moment... I'm glad to hear you've got an amazing career still!
For those that don't know me, hi! I'm Rachel and I'm a science teacher, specialising in Chemistry ๐งช I recently got married to my favourite person and gained myself a second surname โค๏ธ
Prior to teaching I worked in Sales of portable Chemical, Biological and Radiation detection/identification equipment โข๏ธโ๏ธโฃ๏ธ๐งซ
I studied Chemistry at the University of Sussex, and I graduated from my PhD in Synthetic Organic/Medicinal Chemistry (Uni. Southampton) in 2019 ๐ฉโ๐ฌ
I love all things science, animals and nature, and can usually be found in the evenings cuddling my cats, snake or gecko (whilst most probably watching the US Office repeatedly ๐) ๐โโฌ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ณ
@EllisCrawford great intro! How did you find the career change from teaching to editing?
