Welcome

Providence Motherhouse welcomes Mike Hammond, the new editorial assistant in the Communications Office. Mike’s main focus, among a myriad of tasks, is maintaining and updating our Website www.providence.ca

I have had just one occasion to enter the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul Chapel and that was during the recent wedding of my childhood friend. I had never imagined that only a couple months later, I'd be working here. A friend mentioned there was an opening for a part-time employee in web design and communications technology. I applied and a few weeks later, I began working as the new Editorial Assistant in the Communications Department.

I've had a strong interest in computers and the Internet for much of my life because of their ability to bring together large groups of people from so many varying backgrounds and locations. This interest made me determined to enter a rewarding career in the computer industry. Most of my computer related knowledge is self-taught but I did receive a formal education as well, graduating from St. Lawrence College’s Computer Engineering program.

I have also worked full time at a local call centre for the last four years.

It may sound like an exhausting schedule, but both jobs allow me to explore my creative side.

Bear with me over the next few months. I’ve met some wonderful people but I’m terrible with names.

Mike Hammond, editorial assistant in the Communications Office at Providence Motherhouse.
