Lucia is one of Dixon\u2019s Women’s Support Workers, and today, we’re excited to share her story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By connecting with the resilient women at Dixon, Lucia was inspired to pursue a career fighting for employment policy reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucia began her time at Dixon working as a co-op student in the administration office. During that time, she learned the ins and outs of Dixon’s operations. She later moved into a more hands-on role as Program Coordinator at Wenda\u2019s Place. When she went back to school, Lucia stayed at Dixon as a Women’s Support Worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
One of Lucia\u2019s favourite parts of her job has been helping women complete their applications to become Canadian citizens and witnessing their joy as they successfully overcome the hurdles entrenched in this process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucia credits her education in political science as an asset to her work at Dixon. She explained that her knowledge of government and the intricacies of different policies like employment insurance allowed her to better assist women as they navigated these services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
