In my six years of living in Elk Point, I became known as the town's theatre expert.

I had to start work at a very young age since my family was poor (I don't even think it was legal, but my mom was the supervisor at my first job at age 11). I was in school (including university) until June of 2011, so most of my jobs were part time in the school year, full time in the summer, or just seasonal positions. Due to the length of time that has passed, I figured I would just bullet point the different jobs I had below. I share these positions to show the variety of different jobs I have had and emphasize how I am multi-skilled and capable of being successful at many different tasks. All of these positions were in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
