LIVING FORWARD: DANIELLE COULANGES QUIT FINANCE TO TEACH JUNIOR HIGH


As a compliance manager at a big-name financial services firm, Danielle Coulanges knew she was lucky. Having worked her way up over 20 years in the industry, she had a good job with great benefits. But as her career ground on, "it never felt like I was contributing something really meaningful," Danielle says. She wanted more.
So, when Danielle's firm offered her a severance package in 2009, she took it, moved her family to Houston and got certified to teach junior high school. Three years later, at age 58, Danielle is a French teacher and a part-time recording artist. "I believe that you're never too old to live your dreams or pursue something that will make a difference," she says.
