Krista Medhurst
Name: Krista Medhurst
Hometown: Yorkton,
Saskatchewan but Calgary has been home for the last 20 years. I'm a
prairie girl at heart.
Official TOWES job title:
Business Leader
What that really means: In a
weak moment, someone must have entrusted me with managing the
day-to-day operation of TOWES. What were they thinking?
Proudest TOWES moment: Our
team has accomplished a lot over the past 10 years and I'm proud of
all the innovative projects we've completed while maintaining a
great camaraderie. I've also had the opportunity to spend
time with TOWES users who are involved in a variety of different
learning and employment programs. It is very satisfying to
watch individuals improve their skills and confidence knowing that
in some small way our work has contributed to their success.
What do you outside of 9-5?
My other full-time job is raising two pre-schoolers. On the
rare occasion that we do have some free time, we head to our cabin
in Golden, British Columbia, to relax in the mountains.
Favourite sports team: I'm
from Saskatchewan so…Go, Riders, Go! (I have been known to
sport a watermelon hat from time to time.)
If you could learn to do anything,
what would it be? Remember where I put my car keys.
What do you want to be when you grow
up? Retired.
