In this episode, we interview local educators and business owners, Katelyn and Suzan O'Brien, who are bringing something new and different to our area. This mom-daughter team recently opened Sylvan Learning of Garrett County in 2021 after years of teaching in the classroom and after conversations sparked during the early days of COVID. Their center can be described as "a supplemental resource to a child's education" where reading, math and writing are at the core. They also offer SAT prep, homework help, study skills, and have a whole lineup of summer camps ready for 2022.

For us, these ladies got creative in COVID and made some big, difficult careers decisions that resulted in an incredible opportunity for our community. An opportunity for parents to make an added investment in their child's education and for kids to get the extra help they need in school.

Katelyn and Suzan saw the opening of their learning center as a way to serve the community and become business owners at the same time, and that's MAGICAL...all four of us agree!
