− | |My name is Pamela Chu and I am a Supervisor/Senior Regulatory Affairs Officer at Health Canada in the Pharmaceutical Drugs Directorate. I am C-C-B bilingual with a total of 7+ years of experience in the federal public service, which during that time, I have worked as a CO-OP student, casual, and term until my indeterminate appointment in 2018, so I am no stranger to student bridging, networking, job competitions, or the on-boarding/off-boarding processes. Now as a unit head, I have gained a new perspective from hiring, training, and supervising. From these experiences both as an employee and as a supervisor, I can relate to the trials and tribulations that students and new public servants frequently face so I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with these mentees. | + | |Pamela is a Supervisor/Senior Regulatory Affairs Officer at Health Canada in the Pharmaceutical Drugs Directorate.
