I chose social work in hopes of assisting people when they cannot understand policies and procedures, after my own difficult experience with family lawyers and mediators. Also, to allow my children to realize that if you set your mind on any goal it can be accomplished with an education and enough self-respect as regardless of your race. I have enjoyed the experience and meeting knew people along the way.” Korrina attended Nunavut Arctic College where she earned her diploma in the Human Services/Social Work Program.
