Blue is the New White #66 - Amie Schellenberg, Thompson River University

Today, we have a very special guest, referred by our former guest Joanna Osawe. Her name is Amie Schellenberg and she is an electrical instructor at Thompson River University. Amie didn't always want to be a teacher, nor did she even want to be in the trades, but as happens so often, she found her calling. Thinking she was going to be in theater, she went to university for about 2 semesters before taking a job as an electrical apprentice. Little did she realize the path she was about to head down was going to allow her to live her definition of success for years to come. She ended up in the electrical field, traveling all over for jobs, and eventually even meeting her husband in the field. After she had started her family, she thought she was applying for a facilities position at the local school when it quickly turned into an opportunity to teach her craft. Since then, she has been living her definition of success by being rewarded for her years of hard work and, just like stepping back and taking pride in a completing a job, she's now able to step back and see the change she inspires in young people's lives.
