My name is Satu and I am a proud Therapeutic Recreation (THR) – student at Stenberg College. I immigrated from Finland 27 years ago and have been living in Vancouver since.
For 10 years, I worked as a still photographer in the Film Industry. I left the Industry to find more meaningful work where I could help others in the community. I employed the services of a business, life and spiritual coach that helped & guided me to find new career opportunities. Through the intensive workshop I discovered advantageous transferable skills and talents that are a valuable complement for a career in Therapeutic Recreational and community programs. Recreational Therapist work comes to me naturally. Helping people with their lives is my true natural passion and a grand part of my life journey.
I was so happy when I found that Stenberg College offered THR Program in 2013. The online program is intensive and offers incredibly informative and appropriate curriculum. I have been able to volunteer while going school. Last month, I was hired as recreational aide already. Now I am working twice a week and can collaborate my studies with my work life.
I am very excited and proud to be a Therapeutic Recreation blogger for Stenberg College. I hope you will be enjoying the posts and pictures as much me and my classmates do.
