Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Episode 47 – An interview with Falon Velez
Join me for the career story reflections of Falon Velez, CEO & Founder of TeachGeek. As a kid her dream is to be an actor, director or anthropologist. At age 18 she moves to LA and discovers how hard it is to get the roles she wants but finds she enjoys the production and editing side. After six years she decides to pursue the anthropology degree.
As a gamer and self-described geek she was always playing with, and fixing, technology and electronics at a very young age. She didn’t see technology as a career, or her knowledge of it as a gift, it was just a hobby. Once she gets the anthropology degree however, she is fascinated how technology is changing human behavior. Seeing how she can combine the two, she gets both Apple and Windows certifications working as an Apple Genius, then becomes a technology consultant and ultimately starts her own businesses TeachGeek and TeachGeek Academy. She’s now an inspiration and role model for young girls and women in the technology space!
