Summary
We’re joined by Kailey Mills talking about her Hearing Dog, called Buster, a stunning black Cocker Spaniel who has literally transformed her life. After Kailey became deaf, she felt that her dreams of working in engineering were over as everyday tasks were a challenge. After the long wait to receive her Hearing Dog from the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Kailey’s life turned around. As a deaf and dyslexic mother of three who once believed engineering was "not for people like her" she talks about the assistance dog helping her thrive in a career she never thought would be possible. Kailey, an EICA Design Engineer at Stantec, spent years as a stay-at-home mum before returning to education in 2019. She went on to graduate with a First-Class Honours degree in Electrical and Automation Engineering and is now working towards Chartered Engineer status. Alongside her throughout that journey has been her assistance dog, Buster, who helps her navigate both home and work life.
