Since graduation, I've been employed at Public Works and Government Services Canada,
within the Deputy Minister's office,
and since the PM has reappointed the Deputy Minister to Public Safety, I've joined their Deputy Minister's office at Public Safety Canada.
On a daily basis, my role is pretty unique, in a sense that I connect with students and I'm physically on campus. 
I connect with students in regards to helping them better understand employment campaigns, 
the Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP), post-secondary recruitment campaign. 
So I am employed by the government but I'm on campus. I use social media to 
to connect with students and I meet with them one-on-one to help them with the interviewing process, 
CV skills, tailoring their resume. 
How did your studies at uOttawa prepare you for your career? 
It's helped me with public speaking; it's helped me with my research, and analytical skills. 
In addition to my role as student ambassador, I also do work at the office. 
They have me looking at memos, looking at memorandums to the Minister, 
memorandums to the Deputy Minister, 
and in that role I read memos and I analyze them for their content, in as much, 
that requires grammar, structure, how to properly write, and knowing more of the context. 
So, in History, you become an
expert in writing
What career advice can you give to students? 
Network and definitely become active on your campus. 
The university experience is a lot more than just 
going to school, 
it's also about volunteering; 
volunteering for your Student Association, 
groups, whatever it may be, 
that really helped me get my foot in the door, 
and my employers recognized that I had a lot of transferable skills from my volunteer experience. 
CO-OP was also an amazing tool that I've used to get my foot in the door and FSWEP as well.
