Intro and Outro
INTRO:After spending most of her life in Kingston, Jamaica, Natalie Stanton-Peterson probably thought the chilly North Shore of Minnesota would be the last place she would end up. But, after finishing her degree, Natalie signed up for an international work program and was assigned to two jobs in Cook County. In this “Behind the Work” feature, Kelly Schoenfelder, with WTIP North Shore Community Radio, explores her impressions of the North Shore and what it’s like to work in America.
