Nicole in the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program

Well hello out there! I’m excited (and admittedly a little nervous) to share that this is my very first blog post. As a mature student, I’ll be honest: I was out making questionable life choices during the era when blogging really took off, so this is a brand new adventure for me. I’m taking this course to support my current role at work. I’m still fairly new to the position, and the learning curve has been steep, but also incredibly rewarding. What I’ve discovered is that my greatest job satisfaction comes from being innovative and finding creative ways to adapt training tools to meet the needs of each individual. That process of tailoring and problem solving is where I feel most energized. Outside of work, my world is happily ruled by my Cairn Terrier, Finnegan, and his mischievous sidekick, Thumper. And yes, everything you’ve heard about orange cats is true. He is… something else. They keep life interesting, to say the least. I’m excited to begin this journey with you all and see what we discover together.
