A former public school educator, Dana Bridges left the education system to pursue a more creative life. After educating both students and teachers 10 years in district- and state-level educational settings, Dana Bridges believes the system, as a whole, is not designed to help students become successful adults who pursue their true passions.  Recently, she spoke at TEDx Seville Square in Pensacola, FL to explain her journey from public school educator to @crazycreativedana. She now is a career and a social media branding coach, a speaker, an artist, a photographer, an instructor, and a writer, as well as advocates for more opportunities for kids to explore their natural talents and abilities.
