Stephanie Olivella has had a rollercoaster journey through the education system. In this chat, she opens up about developing resilience through challenging early school years and the huge difference that a more flexible environment had on her learning. We are fascinated by the winding path that brought her to become a teacher, her experiences with neurodiversity and mental health challenges in the classroom, and how she’s transformed deep insights into passion to celebrate and foster individuality in her students. If it’s true that “you teach who you are”, then the joy of learning that she’s igniting in their young minds is undeniable. Word has it that only a dodo would miss out on this uplifting lesson from Ms Olivella.
