Career Conference

At the 2021 CHS Career Conference, Grade 11 and 12 students had the chance to spend the afternoon with alumnae, parents, and past parents who generously shared their thoughts and expertise with senior students as they consider their next steps and career paths.

Presenter Bios

Following the keynote presentation, students were invited to select a topic in each of three 40-minute sessions over the afternoon on the theme of "Balance and Wellbeing". Each session had up to 15 panels to choose from, led by alumnae, parents of current and past students, and community connections. Topics ranged from Architecture & Planning to Health Sciences, Business, Technology, Communications, and more. Students had the chance to hear how panelists cut their paths, and to ask questions that will help shape their own.

We thank all those who volunteered for their time and passion!

Keynote Speaker: Ida Templeton

"Progress not Perfection" is the foundation that has made me a successful Entrepreneur with a variety of different businesses.

Growing up in Calgary I was raised by much older parents - they raised me the way they were raised - with an expectation that I'd take care of myself. I didn't get an allowance & figured out that if I was going to succeed it meant doing well in school, earning my independence through work which would lead to freedom & choice. (It did) I figured out in high school that "I wasn't but I was." I wasn't the smartest (my best friend Vera was), I wasn't the most athletic, wasn't the prettiest or most popular but I WAS going to succeed no matter what. If you diversify your unique skills & build your resilience, you can achieve anything. Despite not being great at math, I went into finance after university & built a great client base in Vancouver without knowing anyone. Then I built a division of other financial planners that worked for me & eventually built one of the most profitable regions in Canada. Now I manage real estate holdings & have a string of successful retail stores. I didn't plan on only one career path but I did plan my success & knew it was going to happen. A lot of challenge meant a lot of failure which led to a lot of wins.

I will share the 5 keys to success & balance that have helped me every step of the way in school, work & life. I try and do what's right, the right way at the right time - Progress not Perfection!

Natalie Douglas ’12

I discovered urban planning while I was completing an experiential learning credit at CHS. Despite this early captivation and the fact that I'm currently working in the field ~10 years later, my journey has been anything but straightforward. Surveying, sexual health education, and law are but a couple of sectors I've worked in along the way. I've been lucky enough to work with people I respect and learn from all sorts of folks about struggle and resilience in our cities. It is these experiences, and frankly time, that led me to have the confidence and courage to pursue a very particular type of climate change planning work over the past 3 years. I am early in my career with lots still to learn but am willing to answer any questions you have about my path thus far.

Since then I’ve been able to work with a variety of companies in various industries, including retail/consumer goods and private equity.

Loritta Lin ’14

Loritta Lin developed a passion for food and cooking from a young age and had dreams of attending culinary school. Throughout high school, she gained interest in the sciences and wanted a career combining her love for both food and science. She initially applied for nutrition/dietetics programs, but later learned about Food Science at the University of Guelph, and realized that this was her calling. Being in co-operative education, she had the opportunity to work at Maple Leaf Foods and Weston Foods as an R&D Technologist Student, opening the door to a career in product development. Upon graduation, Loritta decided to follow her original dream and further her studies at The Culinary Institute of America (Napa) for their intensive Accelerated Culinary Arts Program. While she hoped to spend a few years in the restaurant industry, COVID hit and effectively shut down this option. This was incredibly disappointing, but led her to a unique role at Acid League, a rapidly growing start-up company founded by her former classmates.

Anita (Warbinek) Petersen ’90

ANITA PETERSEN created her first marketing campaign for a lemonade stand. If she invested the money in Apple rather than art supplies, she would be living in Paris. Today she runs her own boutique branding agency working with artists, art publishers, and décor companies to build innovative brands for the digital age. But all agencies say things like that.

In her 20s Anita studied art at UBC and moved to the city for a life of love, art, theatre, and late-night poetry readings. A fateful connection (with a now-famous movie director who will not be named) sent her back to school to study PR and design. Marriage. Family. Career. The following decade was gorgeous chaos. Some say what happened next was reckless and foolish … or genius. She and her husband walked away from corporate careers and started an agency of their own. Today they live in Naramata, surrounded by vineyards where the community motto is #narmataslow. When she isn’t working, volunteering, or driving her teenage son places, she can be found drooling over the latest home décor while trying to drone out her husband’s protests of "We don't need any more throw pillows!" What a silly thing to say.

Kate Saunders ’96

Dr. Sandra Scott ’76

My journey began in 1972 when I came to Crofton in Grade 10. I loved the school from the moment I entered the gates. The Crofton House Community supported what I already cherished about education - sharing the stories of birds, whales, and everything nature - and opened up the possibilities for lifelong pursuits in science and environmental education and conservation. I view myself as a naturalist, scientist, and educator of, for, and in the environment; I am a passionate advocate for learning experiences that nurture our sense of wonder for the human and more than human world.

Since graduating in 1976, entering UBC, and now teaching as a Professor at UBC in the Faculty of Education, my Crofton House memories have remained with me as significant life experiences. An important learning from my time at Crofton was the importance of reciprocity, which I realize and live through my work. I have the privilege of collaborating with those who give back through research, teaching, mentoring, and co-learning about, within, and alongside nature.

Kim Turgeon CPA, CA, CISA ’94

Kim is an accountant (CPA) who spends none of her time doing accountant work. As a partner at Deloitte, she focuses her time helping Financial Institutions (Banks, Insurance and Pension Plans) manage their cybersecurity and technology risks. Finishing university with absolutely no idea what she wanted to do as a career, she chose jobs that she thought would be the most fun. Along the way, she worked with amazing people and learned soft skills that perfectly complemented a later career as a Consultant (who knew?!?). Her education background includes a Queens’ BA in History/Politics, Diploma in Application and Management of IT from UVic, and a Certificate in Financial Accounting from Ryerson. Having worked in hotels, ski resorts and banks, she found a great job was more about the people you worked with and what you learned along the way than what you actually did. Twelve years after graduating university, she decided to go for the CPA, went back to school part time and got a job at Deloitte where she has excelled for the last 15 years. At Crofton, she was House Captain of Stuart and graduated in 1994. She and her family live in Toronto and she has 3 amazing nieces who go or went to Crofton (Katie, Maria and Amanda Eng).

Vicky Wang ’10

I graduated from Crofton in 2010 and have been working in the Finance industry in Asia post graduating Georgetown University in 2014. I am currently working in Private Equity in the Private Funds Group at Credit Suisse, previously I was with Goldman in their Equity Capital Markets, and BlackRock in Hong Kong. One thing I wish I had known earlier is the importance of understanding that the journey is forever really. When we are younger, we tend to focus on hitting the goalposts because there was always that next test or destination that we have to get to; however, having been a working adult now for 7 years, I can confidently say that it will be a journey because every day the world changes around you and the work to grow never really stops. The question then becomes how do you succeed, outlast your peers, and be your best every day in a changing world? Just like a beautiful tall strong tree that grows, what can we do to nourish ourselves, so you can continue to grow no matter the weather of the day - rain or shine?!
