This is Leah’s story, our Scheduling Assistant
Leah has been with ASLS for a little over a year and was hired for the Human Resources Administrator position.
Born in B.C., Leah moved to Saskatchewan in 1992 then Lloydminster in 2007 before settling in Peace River in 2013.
She is married to Baron and has two teenaged sons (Michael 17 & Nicholas 14) as well as a dog (Mercury 13) and cat (Jasmine 2).
Why did you apply?
“I had been in the accounting/office management field for most of my working life and wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new.”
What is one of your fondest memories so far?
“There are so many. I always love listening to the Individuals tell me about their day and what was going on when I would walk through Stone Brook.”
What do you tell yourself when it is a stressful day? How do you practice self-care?
“On a stressful day, I remind myself to breathe and just take one task at a time. I remind myself that I am only one person and can get done what I can. I also like to make a list of tasks so that I can prioritize and that helps to keep the stress down.
Baking is a big self-care for me. I love being in my kitchen and creating wonderful treats.”
What do you do in your spare time?
“I spend a lot of my free time (which isn’t very much lol) baking. If you ask anyone that knows me, they will tell you that I bake a lot.
I also love knitting, camping, fishing and anything that is outdoors in the summer.”
If you could have lunch with anyone anywhere who and where would that be and why?
“I would have lunch with my Oma, and it could be anywhere.
My Oma passed away when I was young, and I didn’t get a chance to ask her everything I wanted to know about her.”
