I’m Princess Riza Galang

I graduated from the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Assistant Program.

Coming to Canada as a newcomer is not as easy as everyone thinks. You don’t know if you’ll have the same career that you left back home. I worked different jobs unrelated to my degree in the Philippines and had a hard time going back to my career and lost hope. That’s why I chose to enroll here at triOS College; to go back to my old career. Fast forward, when the pandemic came, I just gave birth and was ready to continue my placement. Thankfully, Antonio, my Employment Specialist, was very supportive. He made sure that I was always updated given the situation that everything was virtual and electronic. He kept me posted related to job training, seminars, and job openings.

Physiotherapy treats patients to restore, maintain, and maximize their mobility, function, and well-being. Your physiotherapist helps you take charge of your recovery.

I managed to successfully finish my internship with ease and good feedback from my supervisors despite the COVID-19 pandemic and most especially, the fact that I also had to take care of a newborn. It was hard and challenging but without the help of everyone at triOS, Leeshel, Larissa, Melissa, Arnab, Antonio, and all of my mentors, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my main goals: to graduate with distinction and to go back to my career.

And now, through the assistance of my Employment Specialist, I landed a job in a long-term care home, one of my dream workplaces.

Thank you so much, triOS College! Please continue helping everyone achieve their dreams.
