Summary

I am currently enjoying the Office Administration program at St. Lawrence College, and this is not my first time taking this program. The first time was over 30 years ago, back when everything was done with pen and paper. After I graduated the first time around I quickly joined the work force at Bank of Montreal (BMO), and I was with them for 20 years. I retired from BMO and decided to dedicate my time to my family and home life. After 5 years of staying at home, I made the decision that I would go back to school and learn the digital way to complete everything I had learned the first time around. A whole new world opened up, and I am truly happy that I came back. I can't wait to explore the new future ahead of me.
