Meet Katy D.

"As a writer and an English student, I never felt sure what the right path would be for me after completing my degree. In my work placement, I get to use my creative skills in new ways that I never expected. Using skills from my degree like research, writing, and time management has made me far more confident in planning a career after graduation and in marketing myself as an employee. I now know that I’m prepared to be successful."

Katy DeCoste is an Arts student majoring in English at the University of Alberta. She works as an intern with the Faculty of Arts. She is a published poet, sings in the university choir, practices yoga, and loves to bake.
