Your Career Journey

Global moves, navigating a large corporation and finding your voice. With Steph Sta Maria

Emma Graham

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Steph Sta Maria, a talented copy and digital content writer originally from Malaysia, now calling Australia home. Steph's journey into the world of writing is a fascinating one - despite always knowing this is where her passion lay, she shares how discovering the right pathway was still a journey in itself.

We delve into Steph's early career, where she had the opportunity to explore various roles and mediums within the media industry, providing valuable insights into what she enjoyed and what she didn't.


Talking about her relocation to Melbourne, Steph shares what helped her to settle quickly, offering practical advice that others can apply. She also discusses her experience navigating the job market and addresses the 'local experience' barrier.


Transitioning from freelance and contract work to a position in a large corporate organisation, Steph provides useful insights into managing this shift and offers advice for those stepping into this type of environment for the first time.


Lastly, Steph opens up about finding her voice and confidence, sharing techniques and practices that have empowered her along the way.


Packed with nuggets of wisdom and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who has recently relocated to Australia, has recently joined a large organisation, or is grappling with imposter syndrome.
