Perseverance & Teaching as a Career of Choice, with Dr. Caitlin Sam | S4E2

Today’s guest is Dr. Caitlin Sam, an Academic Head and Deputy Principal at Curro Heritage House High School in Durban. Her parents were not well-off, so she has always placed a high value on education, earning her PhD in IT in less than two years while working full-time as a teacher during the pandemic. She spoke to us today about the challenges of pursuing a career as a teacher while having a speech impediment and how completing a Post Graduate Certificate in Education for Mathematics & Life Science after her Honors in Microbial Technology led her to a field, she is most passionate about.
