We’re long overdue for another career spotlight, and so this week I chat to my friend Teri Steer about her career path to becoming a stage manager at La Mama. La freaking Mama. That’s so cool I’m not even going to swear about it. Teri is a stage manager, designer, and a familiar face in Melbourne and Brisbane tech crews. One of the many things I admire about Teri is her resilience, and it really shines through as we talk about her journey to where she is now. Her path hasn’t been simple, and that is what makes her sharing it so valuable I think. One of the key lessons from this episode is that the most important thing to do for your career, is realise it is yours. And you have got to do what is best for you; do your degree slower, work on projects while you do it, change your major, whatever best serves you and your growth, do that.
Keep well,
-Paula
