About the Author: Dr Meera Varadharajan is a Research Fellow in Education at the Centre for Social Impact, University of New South Wales. Her PhD thesis was on the lived experiences of career change teachers who were new to the teaching profession. Extending her thesis work, her subsequent research examined the experiences of career change pre-service student teachers in Australian universities and the experiences and motivations of career change teachers from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) backgrounds. Her work has been recognized through high commendations from thesis examiners, being awarded the 2010 Teacher Guild Prize and being able to successfully secure funding to support her research. She has presented her work in schools, universities and in teacher education conferences. Her current research, funded by the New South Wales Department of Education in Australia, focuses on mechanisms to attract and retain career changers from STEM backgrounds. Meera is passionate about highlighting the characteristics and contributions of career change teachers. A career changer herself, Meera has a Bachelors' and Masters' degree in accounting and has worked in the banking and business sector for over 10 years before moving to education.
