STUDENT
Medical Transcription/ Self-Employed Sprott-Shaw
self-employed was just a pipe dream. I was able to earn a double diploma at Sprott-Shaw Community College, in Office Administrative Assistance and Medical Office Assistance. I have been able to start my own company called, Adminplus, where I am a Virtual Assistant. My main focus is Medical Transcription, however I also caption for the deaf/hearing impaired (keyboarding), as well as contracts from other business sectors. My education gave me possibilities that I never imagined. I am able to work for myself or for someone else and that is the best gift of my education. I now have choices. There are no words to describe those feelings for the assistance I received through Vancouver Island Métis Employment and Training.

Without the gracious help of the Métis, I would have never been able to afford my schooling. I have gained much knowledge in the industry and have already acquired a few jobs in my selected field. Currently I am a camera operator on a feature film titled, “That One Night”. I really appreciate all the support in allowing me to go after my passion.
