Fascinated by human behaviour and what she can learn from it, Catherine Joe Abraham chose to pursue a Diploma in Criminology at Douglas College.

“I wanted to study at an institution that would challenge me and provide opportunities beyond the classroom,” she says. “Douglas offered exactly that, allowing me to explore the field, discover my interest in forensic science and build confidence before continuing my education.”

Catherine’s studies opened the door to real-world work experience with an internship at the Mount Pleasant Community Policing Centre. During her time there, she assisted with office operations, community programs, fundraising and community partner work.

“The experience strengthened my communication, organizational and administrative skills while allowing me to interact with people from diverse backgrounds. It’s made me feel more prepared for a career in criminology.”

Data analytics play a larger role in health care than most realize. They improve patient safety, support better clinical decisions, protect privacy and help organizations improve the quality of care they provide. Fascinated by how much impact data can have, Vaishnavi sought a career in the field with Douglas College’s Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management (HIM).

“I’ve always enjoyed analyzing problems to find practical solutions,” she says. “It’s rewarding to know that even small improvements to health data can make a real difference for patients and health-care providers.”

It’s a joy she explored during her time at Douglas while learning how to assess health-care information. She transformed that knowledge into real-world results during her work placement at Surrey Memorial Hospital, identifying data trends that could support patient safety and quality improvement initiatives.

“I wanted to make a positive difference to people’s lives. My time at Douglas has given me that opportunity, preparing me for the HIM field so I can ensure health information is accurate, secure and available when needed.”
