    TT53 - Shifts, pivots and adjustments in teaching: Alexandra, international teacher and world traveler

    In this episode, we have the great pleasure of meeting Michelle, a dear friend and teacher guide on the side for so many. Michelle shares her very interesting story of how she became a teacher and how she has been a wayfinder her entire life and career.
