For Kerry-Lynne Findlay, her career is all about problem-solving. As a candidate for the leadership of the British Columbia Conservative Party, she sees this as a key part of running an organization or political party.

But because law was a very solitary journey, it didn’t fit her extroverted personality and she wanted a different challenge – which led her to politics.
