When Michaela moved to Thunder Bay from Southern Ontario two years ago, she was looking for more than just a job. She was searching for a place to belong. Although she worked several jobs during her time here, none truly felt like the right fit. Friendly, open, and a natural listener, Michaela has a passion for customer service and a talent for working with business software. But it wasn’t until she connected with YES Employment Services that everything started to fall into place.
Michaela came to YES after leaving a role that didn’t align with her goals. She began working with Employment Coordinator Brenda Richtig to explore opportunities where she could grow and learn. She wanted to stretch the boundaries of customer-facing roles that would use her technical skills and allow her to focus on her interests as well. Brenda quickly recognized Michaela’s potential and set to work finding the right match.
As it happens, Michaela is also a visual artist, and when a position came up at Print Pros, she was thrilled. Print Pros has a long-standing relationship with YES, dating back to when we shared office spaces in the same building.
