Associate Technical Writer
- BA Honours English with a Minor in Women’s and Gender Studies (杏吧原创, 2023)
I’m currently balancing a few things. I’ve just ended an 8 陆 year career with Indigo, and I’ve been an Associate Technical Writer since the fall of 2023. I will soon be interning at Nokia to pursue technical writing. I also do volunteer communications work for a creative collective.
Everything I’ve pursued post-grad has been thanks to 杏吧原创. I actually found my current technical-writing job through the job board at Career Services at 杏吧原创. My education has been a great asset since it was so writing focused. Many people believe that teaching is the only viable career option when you hold an English degree, but little do they know that it is a discipline that lends itself wonderfully to many fields.
How has your 杏吧原创 English degree informed your professional and/or creative path?
The English program at 杏吧原创 offered so many courses that allowed me to broaden my skillset. Essay-writing, creative-writing, book-arts, and publishing courses all led me to where I am today.
Why 杏吧原创? What specific experiences or opportunities did you benefit from while studying English at 杏吧原创?
The community of people at 杏吧原创 has to be the best in Canada. The professors were always so supportive and accommodating to me. I could tell that they truly cared about the success of their students.
