Kaitlyn Nash
Communications Coordinator, Corporate Communications
A little bit about you.
I completed eight months of co-op with Liberty and then returned full-time after I graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2021. A fun fact about me is that I love to work on Lego projects and puzzles. I also enjoy going on hikes with my dog.
How did your journey start with Liberty?
I started in January 2020 as a Communications Coordinator Co-op within Corporate Communications for four months. I then moved over to the Environment Team as an Environmental Coordinator Co-op until August 2020.
Where are you now with Liberty?
I’m currently a Communications Coordinator within Corporate Communications.
How did you end up where you are now?
I have a lot of wonderful people around me that have supported and encouraged me throughout my University experience and continue to do so while I’m early on in my career. I wouldn’t be where I am without them and do appreciate those connections. You should always surround yourself with people that empower you and encourage you to do better.
What do you like most about your current position at Liberty?
I love that my job gives me the opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues from different departments and backgrounds.
What did you learn through your journey?
I have learned many lessons, every lesson molding me into the person I am today. The most important lesson I've learned by far is to be adaptable and open to change. We all experienced change during COVID-19, and during that time, I had to be very open to new opportunities while trying to finish a degree online and then join a virtual workforce. This time was scary and unpredictable, but being adaptable made this experience easier.
What advice do you have for students in their journey to finding work?
It is a bit of a cliché, but you need to truly believe in yourself for others to do the same. Take on opportunities even if you think you don’t meet every single criterion. You never know if you don’t try, and you can always put 100% effort into everything you do to prove to yourself and others that you’re more than capable.
