10 words or less to describe what I do at UBC:

I support the Student Recruitment and Advising (SRA) team through a variety of exciting events, as we engage and inspire prospective students.

The best thing about my work/role at UBC:

Overseeing the Okanagan Campus Tours program is a double-bonus for me. 1: Leading our team of superstar Student Ambassadors, provides me with a continuous source of creativity and imagination. 2: Welcoming prospective students and their families from all over the world, and sharing the endless possibility of UBC and beautiful British Columbia.

My favourite place to spend my lunch hour :

You can find me on the stairway to heaven/ pine loop trail seeking my daily dose of fresh air and open views.

My top UBC tip for my colleagues, or for someone beginning their UBC journey:

I'm fairly new to UBC, so I could probably use the advice myself. I've enjoyed getting out and exploring campus, connecting with campus partners, and learning about all the wonderful services and resources on campus for students, staff and faculty. The monthly pit stops are a great place to start!
