Who are you? Heather Pautler
Age: 22
Employment: Social work practicum student at the Drumheller Institution.
What do you like most about your practicum? The interaction aspect. I’m definitely a people person in that sense.
How long have you lived in Drumheller? I moved here about four weeks ago, so it’s all new to me. I am originally from Medicine Hat.
What do you like most about living in the valley? I like how the buildings and the houses and everything is so close knit. It has that city feel with a small town atmosphere. I’m really excited to start exploring all the museums around here. At first I thought there was only the Tyrrell but after moving I am realizing they are all over the place! I’m going to try to take them all in.
Is there anything you don’t like so far? I do miss my family and friends who are back home.
What would you say is your best quality as a person and why? I’m pretty outgoing. I’d say I’m really easy to get along with and I am able to stay positive. It helps in my profession, and it helps build a rapport with people.
Do you have any hidden talents? Most people don’t know this, even those who have known me for years, but I can walk on stilts really well.
What are you most afraid of? Spiders. We used to find black widows in our basement in Medicine Hat and I’m fairly certain that’s where my fear started. I just don’t trust things with eight legs!
What’s the craziest thing you’d ever try? A friend once mentioned bungee jumping to me. I would try it at least once I think. It would take a lot to get me to do it but I think I would.
If you could have a superpower, which would it be and why? I’d like to be able to teleport whenever I wanted. It would save so much time and money on travelling.
What are some of your main goals? First off I’d like to finish my bachelor’s degree in social work. Then I’d like to do some travelling to Antarctica or something crazy.
