Meet the Mentors
Chat directly with EE graduates
No empty promises. No pushy sales.
Just honesty, connection, and real experiences.
These mentors are former teachers who took the leap, built their Virtual Assistant businesses through Educator’s Exit, and are now helping others see what’s possible.
They’re not here to pressure you.
They’re here to talk, answer questions, and share what this career has really done for them— the good, the scary, and everything in between.
So take your time, read their stories, and when you’re ready, send a quick message to the mentor you connect with most. From there, you’ll be able to book a free call and chat through all your questions together.
I created this page because I believe you deserve the truth straight from women who’ve been exactly where you are right now.
After 15 years in the classroom shaping young minds, I traded lesson plans for launch plans. Now, as a busy mom of two and virtual assistant, I help business owners streamline, systemize, and scale—with the same patience, precision, and heart that once filled my classroom.
Gautier, MSFirst grade teacher
Hi I’m Haley! I’m a former kindergarten teacher turned Pinterest Manager and VA for feminine-led business owners who desire more white space in their calendars to focus on the hard work of their business, and be present in their lives. I’m a military wife, cat mama, and huge lover of grandma hobbies and the simple things in life. In my free time, you can find me walking the beach, at the farmers market, or curled up at home with a good book and cup of coffee.

Hey I’m Sarah! I was a 1st grade teacher at a nature-based school in Charlotte NC for 4 years! Once I decided my heart wasn’t in teaching anymore I discovered EE. I launched my VA business while still working as a full time teacher. That summer I went full time VA and never went back to the classroom (what a blessing)!! I am now a VA who focuses on admin support + email management.

Hi, I’m Kacey! I spent seven years teaching 3rd grade. But after becoming a mom, I felt the pull to be more present at home. I transitioned into being a stay-at-home mom but found myself looking for additional income. I saw how EE was changing lives for women and moms, and I was all in. Since launching my VA business, I’ve been able to help provide more opportunities for my family to experience life, homeschool, and not miss a beat.
Omaha, NEThird Grade Teacher
Hi, I’m Mel! I spent seven years teaching kindergarten before realizing I was ready for a new chapter, one where I could use my love of organization, systems, and admin in a way that felt more aligned with my life. I launched Your VA Mel in August 2024 and now help small business owners simplify their world one task at a time. Becoming a VA has given me something the classroom never could: the flexibility to care for my mom, travel with my husband, and let go of the tutoring and side jobs I once relied on. I’m grateful every day that I took the leap.

Hi, I’m Rachel! I am a current kindergarten teacher of 10 years, and I’m creating my exit plan. I enrolled in Educator’s Exit, completed the course and launched within two weeks. I now make more as a part time VA than I do as a teacher. I’ve been able to try out different services and really find what I’m passionate about which is helping influencers and content creators with their social media and affiliate links. I’m able to do the work I truly love, while still helping others and building a future that will allow me to be present with my family!

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER
Hi, I'm Jenna! After four years in the classroom, I began to question if teaching was the right long-term path for me. Becoming a mom was the clarity I needed to create my exit plan, and Educator's Exit was exactly what helped me make that transition!
Now, I run a virtual assistant business that gives me the flexibility to be present with my daughter while doing work I love. I currently support clients with admin tasks and Pinterest management.
