Chris Couper left a career in pharmaceutical management when he found it difficult to get over two bouts of parental leave, and decided to work with kids full-time. He’s now an early childhood educator working with kindergarteners at St. Joseph’s Elementary School in Arnprior, and wouldn’t have it any other way. Couper says, in effect, young minds are open minds, and he’s delighted to be aboard for their journey. Chris recognizes that Early Childhood Education is a preponderantly female-majority occupation, and he’s not concerned with any implied stigma that may put on his shoulders; Couper loves his work.
