When Peri Venkatesh [MN/91] arrived in Manitoba in 1971, he was unsure what career path he would take. Nursing and education weren’t even considerations at the time.
The first professional experience that Hoda Hosseini [DMD/06, M.Dent/12] had after dental school made her wonder whether she had chosen the right career.
Disability rights have long been a passion for Marnie Courage [BA/96, BMROT/00]. While studying arts at UM in the 1990s, she had a job in community respite services, supporting people with physical and intellectual disabilities.
