Stacy DuBois is a natural born problem-solver who loves music, joking with
her friends and pursuing her dreams. A recent graduate of the Office
Administration-Legal program at Algonquin College, she is confident that her
aptitude with computer software will evolve into a career that she will enjoy
and be proud of.
The Office Administration-Legal program provided Stacy with a high level of
proficiency using word processing, presentation, Internet, e-mail, database,
graphics, and spreadsheet skills in a network environment. While completing her
Algonquin program, she also had the opportunity to work in an office setting.
She found the experience to be very fulfilling, as she often received positive
feedback from her colleagues while she solved their daily office software
problems.
In her first year of the Office Administration program, a computer professor
mentioned the opportunity for students to compete against their peers in skills
competitions hosted by Skills/Compétences Canada-Ontario. Never one to back down
from a challenge, Stacy was instantly motivated by this interesting event.
"I immediately jumped at the
opportunity because I have a lot of confidence in my abilities. I like to take
every opportunity to learn new things and perfect my
skills."
After successfully competing at the provincial level, she went on to compete
at the Canadian Skills Competition in 2007 where she won gold. In 2008, she
repeated her success, earning her the right to represent Canada at the 2009
WorldSkills Competition in Calgary.
Being inspired by others who are not afraid to go against the flow, Stacy is
excited to make an essential contribution to Team Canada 2009. She is also
looking forward to the opportunities, benefits and rewards she will experience
in her future career as an entrepreneur, an information management specialist,
or perhaps a project manager. Besides preparing for the WorldSkills Competition,
Stacy is currently working on obtaining a Bachelor of Professional Arts -
Communications Major from Athabasca University.
