While employed at WBM, I have had the opportunity to chaperone and show Inuit and Inuvialuit students what WBM has to offer for careers and taken them to the University and College Institutions during their NorTerra Education and Career Awareness week.

Tell us something not a lot of people know about you: Without my mother's (Clara Day) encouragement and guidance I would never have achieved my accomplishments in life.
