BASIC FACTS
Many opportunities
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"When I first moved up to The Pas, I had a few options because I wasn't really sure where I wanted to go at that point. I was sort of at a crossroads in my career decision. And the opportunity came up for Manitoba Hydro and I didn't actually know what the position was - it was a station operator - but I was just up for adventure. And I just thought, 'You know, let's try this.'
"So I went and when I started at Manitoba Hydro as an operator, it was really eye opening. There were so many opportunities that I just couldn't refuse. It's definitely not something that I ever would have dreamed to be. I always thought I'd be a veterinarian. The way my path went, it just ended up that this is where I went."
