Background
I moved to Nauwigewauk when I was 14, where I lived and worked on a farm every day for 13 years. After graduating high school, I started working night shifts at the Superstore and at my local fire department. After seven years at the Superstore, I decided to go back to school to take Information Technology at Eastern College. I got a job right out of college as a Service Desk Technician and worked for about six years before deciding I needed a change.
With the fire department, we needed to get our Class 3 licence for the new truck that was being purchased. Since I had this licence, I thought about taking a chance in driving a fuel truck. I started working for Irving Oil as a driver in 2023. I had wanted to work for Irving ever since benefiting from the Fuel the Care program when my son was born. He stayed at the IWK for about five weeks.
Career
In my role as a driver for Irving Oil, I deliver fuel to construction sites, bus garages, big equipment and residential homes. Being outdoors is a big part of the job. Every day is different. My son is very proud of me for driving for Irving.
