While being in Victoria for almost four years, much of Jessie Niikoi’s time was taken up by working more than two jobs at a time, on top of her schooling at Camosun College.
“I didn’t really have the time or the opportunity to get into the things that are happening in Victoria,” Niikoi said.
That meant she didn’t have many personal connections to Victoria that would make her stay after graduating, so when an appealing opportunity arose elsewhere, she jumped on it and made the move to Vancouver.
