This episode focuses on personal values + life stages

Marta was living in Turkey when she became fascinated with child development while observing how her children were adapting to a new culture without the support of the extended family.

It was during her maternity leave that she started researching on how she could better support her children when transitioning to a new country.

Marta discovered Montessori pedagogy and instantly loved how its principles would have helped her children with a holistic approach focusing on both emotional and academic development. 

Marta had a brilliant International career in Marketing, but when she became a mother, she knew that she would have had to take time to raise her children and be present for them during the formative years. That’s what her mum did, giving her stability and values in her upbringing.

What made Marta reflect and consider changing her career was a shift of focus: what mattered then as a mother was different compared to her as an individual with an ambitious career.

She then retrained to gain knowledge about early years education.

A new move, to Brazil this time, opened up a new opportunity for Marta.

The new school her children were enrolled in was led by a pivotal leader who pulled Marta in and encouraged her to pursue a degree in pedagogy. She got offered a job in that school while still studying for her degree.

Marta loves that through this type of education she can support not only her children but also all the children of the international community who are impacted by constant transitions.

Marta is now living and breathing the Maria Montessori principle or “working for a better world”

Trying and questioning is the only way to assess if a project or an idea is viable or valuable.
