Erika Johnston, Recreation and Leisure Services Graduate

Currently working for the Students’ Association as a Client Service Associate for the new Jack Doyle Athletics and Recreation Centre.

“When looking back at the experiences that I had within the Recreation and Leisure Services program; the professors had opened there classrooms to authentic learning; using previous experiences within recreation and giving us guidance and tools to assist within the workplace. There is so much gratitude I need to give to the professors who have impeccable resumes and involvement in many multiple recreation professions. With this in mind, I do wish to grow my resume and work experience to fuel my passion within the recreation / health and wellness field. I find that the courses that best relate to my field of work would include: Facilities Management, Risk Management, Recreation Program Management and even Program Administration. These courses has given myself confidence and knowledge that is to applicable to my work duties and tasks. I am grateful for the material within the courses. I feel that it has prepped me for situations and tasks within my workplace. Being able to apply the knowledge taught; is rewarding to my hard work and dedication for success within the program and career. My Algonquin College experience has given me confidence and growth within my profession to become a leader. This has been rewarding to see others succeed and to continue to apply myself to strive for greatness.”
