Descrição
From 10 Years in Science to a Calling in Education | US Degree Student & TEFL L5 (Young Learners) | Committed to a 6+ Month Placement
ABOUT ME
My name is Michele. For ten years, I built a successful, structured career as a chemist in Italy. However, over the past few years, my path went through a profound and unexpected evolution. I realized I wanted a life driven by human connection, not just a productive environment.
Accordingly, in November 2024, I took a leap. I relocated to Australia, dedicating myself to intense physical labor and independent travel, completely immersing myself in the English language. That high-pressure environment tested me, sharpened my fluency, and funded my next chapter: exploring Asia.
I spent three months in Rishikesh, India, grounding myself in meditation and yoga. As I traveled onward through Thailand and Vietnam, connecting deeply with local communities, my perspective permanently shifted. I realized my true calling wasn't just to travel but to be genuinely useful to someone else.
That realization led me to education. For this reason I am currently pursuing an accelerated US Bachelor's Degree in Educational Studies online, and I have already earned my Level 5 TEFL + Young Learners Certification.
Now, I am bringing this all together. I am relocating to Cambodia with a specific focus: to dedicate the next 6+ months to gaining rigorous, hands-on classroom experience while I complete my degree. I bring the discipline of a scientist, the adaptability of a global traveler, and a deep, genuine desire to help children thrive.

During the first two weeks, Scott was in Europe, but he still gave me clear instructions via video calls and, most importantly, his trust — which I really appreciated. In that period, I felt deeply regenerated by working in the garden, going bushwalking, and… read more
The work was varied — whipper snipping, fixing the deck, weeding, planting, and organising the shed — and I always felt appreciated. The food was great, always fresh and high-quality.
