In this week's episode, I chat with Stanford graduate and early childhood educator, Marothodi Ntseane. We chat about her adjustment to moving to Massachusetts, and later to California, in the United States. We also talk about the factors that led to her taking a gap year during her undergraduate degree and the steps she took to make it happen. Marothodi reminds us of the importance of choosing you and following your own path.

Marothodi was born in the United States to Batswana parents and raised in Botswana. She completed her high school at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and then pursued a bachelor's in psychology with a focus on health and development. She currently works as an early childhood educator in San Francisco Bay, California.  Connect with her on LinkedIn and Instagram: @marothodi_.
