Hello and welcome to RLI's virtual Job Fair! I have always had a passion for helping others, which led me to become a part of the amazing Metis Training to Employment team, as their Provincial Disability Consultant. Through RLI's Disability Program Services we work to reduce employment barriers for those Metis Citizens with diverse abilities. I have experience in vocational rehabilitation services where I have assisted many individuals to overcome obstacles in training and employment. I am a Kinesiologist and offer a diverse skill set where I am adaptable and creative to meet a variety of client needs. If you have any disability related questions to your next career steps, let’s schedule a chat!
