Fry Family Foundation Leadership Award, 2020
Fry Family Foundation Leadership Award, 2020
I finished the Ocean Mapping Diploma this summer at the Marine Institute, and have one semester left for the Bachelor of Technology, finishing this fall. I am starting up work again remotely with the Canadian Hydrographic Service, a branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and I am hoping to stay on with them as long as I can. I just finished a summer contract with the Navy Reserve, where I completed technical dive training and performed team lead duties on the training summer in St. John's. Receiving this award from the Fry Family Foundation has helped me tremendously. From a financial perspective throughout this program, especially with added stress through changes in study and work through the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, this award has been a huge support.
Receiving this leadership award also helps me reflect on past leadership experiences and how I can always improve for future positions. Having completed a leadership role this summer, adapting to these leadership positions is a challenge that is always evolving, making it a continuous learning process.
