Episode 5 - Kin Katya

In this episode, I talk to my friend Katya, who is currently working as a Kinesiologist. We talk about what makes kinesiologists different from physiotherapists and chiropractors, why she finds it hard to work with athletes and her struggles as a millennial finding the right career path.

In this episode, I talk to my friend Cindy, who is currently working as an Optometrist. We talk about what optometry school is like, her passion for eyes and the ongoing negotiations with the government for better eye care.

In this episode, I talk to my friend, Dorothy, who is currently a bedside Nurse in the surgery unit of a hospital. We talk about her experiences throughout the Pandemic, how staffing issues have affected her unit, and how much mistreatment nurses face on a daily basis.

In this episode, I talk to my friend, Megan, who is currently working as an Immunizer at a vaccine clinic. We dive into what it’s like to be part of the immunization assembly line, why she finds it challenging to work with children, and later in the conversation I also find out that she worked as a Contact Tracer. So you’ll be getting two pretty unique experiences.

In this episode, I talk to my friend Michelle, who is a nurse working in a hospital’s emergency department. We dive into how the Pandemic impacted her schooling, how its impacted her personal life as well as some advice she’d give to other aspiring healthcare professionals.

Throughout the Pandemic, healthcare workers have gotten the short end of the stick time and time again. We also may have forgotten that many of these professionals have just started their careers and have been thrust into this chaos. In this limited podcast series, I’m going to sit down with some of these young professionals to talk about why they chose their careers, how the Pandemic has impacted them personally and professionally, as well as what change do they want to see as we head towards this new normal. I hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I did!
