I’m an “adult” mentor on team 188 and like Steve Warren, I work for Bell Canada as well. However, I work in a more administrative position than tech. The only way my day job relates to the team is that I do help push papers and organize the students and events.

I also work on a contract basis as a computer graphics designer. That’s where I try to shine on the team. I give guidance and input on layouts of print & web work that the students create.

Oddly enough, this year I mostly helped out with Team Spirit. It’s odd because I’m generally a quite person. But in this year’s competition, I yelled my heart out for the teams and lost my voice for a while. Some people are slightly reserved when it comes to cheering and dancing around, but once you get them revved up, the tables turn and you’re the one feeding off their energy.

I feel especially fortunate working with a bunch of wonderful students and will miss those who are graduating this year. But I can’t wait to meet new students next year and have yet another awesome season.
