Kortney joined MentorAbility to explore different professional opportunities. So far, she has participated in four mentorship experiences in Whitehorse, discovering various work environments and occupations related to craftsmanship, retail, and the visual arts.
Her journey began with a greeting card artisan, where she was introduced to the creative process behind designing and crafting handmade cards, from selecting materials to assembling finished pieces. She then spent time in the retail industry at Warehouse One, where she observed customer service, merchandising, and the daily operations of a store.
In a local art gallery, she was in an environment where creativity and attention to detail shape how artworks are presented and shared. Finally, at Lumel Studios, a glassblowing workshop, she was introduced to the techniques involved in shaping glass and observed the process of bringing each piece to life.
