Hello Everyone, My name is Madison Dusome, I’m a 21 year old female who is a Developmental service worker (graduated June 2023 with a 4.20 GPA), and a student at Durham college studying behavioural science. My career path for providing support to those who have disabilities initially began in 2019 when I was a placement student at an elementary school providing assistance to teachers and EA’s, from there my compassion and empathy grew stronger towards contributing to their development and quality of life. Throughout the years following, I was provided the opportunities to expand my professional experience by being a placement student at two separate group homes and another elementary school where I developed great rapport with the individuals supported and co-workers. I gained an extensive amount of training throughout my years within this field and will continue to grow and expand my knowledge and experiences. Despite my career field, I have advanced my knowledge by gaining a collection of employment types throughout my educational time. Beginning in 2016, I was employed at Oshawa this week news paper and was employed for 3 years. In 2019, I was employed at Trillium Trails Banquet and Conference hall where I served special events for 3 years. In 2021, I was employed by East Side Mario’s and was hosting for 6 months. And lastly in 2021, I was employed by Cash connections as a jewelry sales representative for 3 years. Throughout working in a selection of environments, I gained extensive knowledge in different areas and excellent customer service experience.
