Interviewee: Leah Mosher

 

Leah Mosher has experienced two very diverse careers in two very different worlds, a man's world and a child's world.  She inspires others to go for it, whatever their go for it is.

 

On February 13, 1981, Captain Leah Mosher graduated as one of the first three Canadian Women Military Pilots. She went on to become the first female pilot of the CC130 Hercules, and she also piloted the Canadair Challenger.

 

After retiring as a Major in 1996, Leah returned to university and obtained a Bachelor of Education. She taught for 16 years, primarily in the field of Special Education. Her entrepreneurial spirit and love of diversity have spurred her to create a private tutoring business.

 

Now retired from teaching, she is pursuing her passion of empowering youth to overcome obstacles.

 

 

Interviewee: Jessica Gardner

 

Jessica Gardner is a remarkable 18-year-old who, from a young age, was exposed to an environment that required her to develop a mature way of thinking.  As a teenager, she realized that she was not living to her full potential and happiness. In order to do that, she knew a drastic change was required.

 

Using her resilient nature and strong work ethic, Jessica embarked on a path to independence at 16 years of age. She had to overcome many challenges that are not typical for someone so young.  Knowing that education is essential for success, she excelled academically and has received a full scholarship to university.  In addition she has been successful in sports and theatre, and has been a volunteer in her community.

 

More recently, Jessica noted that her younger sister was struggling with similar issues. She immediately welcomed her into her home and has been rewarded with seeing her sister’s well-being blossom.

 

Even though she has faced adversity throughout this experience, it has turned out to be very positive.
