Through the Years with Emily Richards, P.H.Ec.

3/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Emily Richards, P.H.Ec.
I have been involved with the Ontario Home Economics Association (OHEA) since I was a student at Brescia University College and Western University. I went to meetings and found out more information from my professors and also networked with other Home Economists in the field to widen my knowledge of the profession and it’s benefits. It was recommended by many professors at the time to join and become active in the OHEA board.
I joined around 1994/1995 and was a student member until I graduated. During my participation with OHEA (if I can remember correctly) a student board liaison member, I was secretary on the board, a branch member liaison, Vice President and President of the OHEA board. I continue to keep my membership to stay informed and see how things are changing/evolving. I also try to help support new members where I can.

I am proud to be an OHEA member still.

 
I have enjoyed the versatility my career has brought me and the ability to create my own path while helping others in their own. Whether it’s learning how to cook, picking out the right groceries or meal planning, everyday is different and new. I enjoy the creativity of recipe development and the enjoyment learning brings to those around me and also myself.

Being a Home Economist is such a varied career path that it has suited me well with my different interests and has allowed me to be flexible throughout my continue career.
