Career Story
After high school, I went to college and studied Broadcasting: Radio, Television and Film. I worked in community television for years before settling in to work at YTV. While working at YTV, now Corus Entertainment, I was lucky enough to have someone recognize that I enjoyed working with databases. I was able to transfer into IT where, after a lot of hard work and self-led instruction, I became a Systems Analyst. I eventually moved on to OpenText. I learned so much working in IT here, but discovered my passion for helping other people. When a job opened up for a trainer, I applied and now I'm doing a job I love.
