Olivia Saunders, an early-career maths teacher, talks about how her enthusiasm for education and people lead her to teaching mathematics first at an all-girls private school in Western Australia, before coming to Adelaide, South Australia, teaching seniors at University Senior College. Olivia talks about arriving at teaching after that common experience of feeling like her office job in HR and fundraising wasn't fulfilling enough.

On this episode we talk about the personal and intellectual energy, and the work/life balance, it takes to be a teacher.
