 Hi my name's Catherine, I'm 22 years old. I am a head boosterer at Century. I'd make approximately anywhere from five to seven hundred coffees a day. I love making someone a really good coffee. I love the expression when they when they realize that I'm blind. I had really mixed emotions when guide dogs said I could, I was eligible for a guide dog. I was scared because I'd never had a dog before. I was excited because it means that I could travel independently. I had never thought that having a guide dog would be something that I wanted until I met Sammy and then I just knew that it was right for me. Century was a very different experience applying and being interviewed and actually getting a job there. My now boss is very accepting. He for a lack of better word doesn't care that I have a vision impairment. He doesn't see me any different. He actually thinks I work harder because I have a vision impairment. I have something to prove. Sammy and I are inseparable now. We do everything together and even if I'm away from her too long she just knows if I'm upset she comes over to me and sticks her nose in my face. It's really adorable. She knows how to cheer me up. Guide Dogs Victoria means to me independence. Raising a guide dog is very expensive and I wouldn't be where I am today without the services of Guide Dogs Victoria being free.
