POTOMAC, MARYLAND: Wendy Osefo is done delivering lectures to students! 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' housewife has decided to bid adieu to her professor job. In the first episode of the show, she shed light on her decision to step away from her teaching position.

“I wanted to resign for a very long time. I’m turning 40, but I still have other things to do," the former college professor told the producers during a private interview. 

Wendy who holds multiple degrees previously served as a professor in the Doctor of Education program at Johns Hopkins University. She decided to step away from her teaching job to focus on her three kids, Karter, Kruz, and Kamrynn. Along with this, she also mentioned that she “no longer felt fulfilled” in her position.

"I have a known life outside of being a professor,” Wendy shared. Talking about Wendy's decision, she was not all confused about quitting her professor job as she wanted to pay all her attention to her family life.
