"At no time has my physical limitation been a factor that could hinder my interpersonal exchanges within my team. Before I ever even asked for anything, my supervisors, Administration and Human Resources acted quickly so that I might have all the material and adaptations I needed to feel safe and comfortable. Since then, I have been entrusted with numerous challenges, which I have taken on with great success."
— Jessica C., Technicienne en administration
