November 2021 Edition - WHAT EMPLOYERS WANT PODCAST SERIES: Maame De-Heer Speaks

The Podcast Series is intended to guide new and recent graduates to become quality professionals in these troubling times as they seek their careers and adjust to the new realities outside the walls of college campuses. Employers and professionals from various industries will share experiences, guidance, information, instruction and recommendations for graduates. The hope is for graduates to strategically navigate new useful ideas to deal with realities never taught in college. For this episode, we interview a multifaceted lady professional from the “Great White North” with a resume to die for.

Prior to that, she was a Clinical Health Analyst for University Health Network, Canada’s largest academic health sciences centre which was named as one of the world’s top 10 hospitals list by Newsweek. Ms. De-Heer is the Anti-Racism Ambassador for Experiences Canada (formerly SEVEC), a nominee for 2021 YMCA Young Woman Excellence Award, and the founder of Power of Love Foundation Canada, an emerging grassroots organization that aims to improve the overall well-being of Ghanaians residing in Canada.
