I graduated from UBC’s Master's degree in Educational Administration and Leadership in 2016. In the past 7 years, I have gained valuable experience working in both the private and public sectors, primarily in recruitment and admissions. I find great fulfillment in working with prospective students and witnessing their growth and achievements as they embark on their chosen educational paths. I’m deeply committed to fostering a diverse, supportive and inclusive environment at UBC Sauder. Beyond my professional endeavors, I embrace an adventurous spirit - you can often find me scaling mountains or playing squash on the court.

I have been a Recruitment & Admissions Manager at University of British Columbia, Sauder School of Business in beautiful Vancouver, Canada since 2015. I am passionate about helping people find their potential through higher education, and it is my privilege to see the impact our programs have had on the lives who have entrusted us with their educational journeys. As a native Vancouverite and UBC alumna, I am always happy to share what I know about life in Vancouver and the UBC experience from a student/alumni perspective. Outside of work, you’ll find me attempting to travel to as many corners of the globe as I can, exploring the Vancouver area by foot, paddling and bicycle; and getting in over my head in various sporting endeavors.

I am a UBC Sauder Master of Management student and UBC Science alumna from Vancouver, Canada. After receiving my BSc in Microbiology & Immunology, I wanted to continue learning, meet diverse groups of people, and gain new perspectives. The MM program was the perfect opportunity for me to integrate my science background with business to enhance my knowledge and meet my career goals. UBC Sauder is dedicated to student learning, growth, and development, and I am very happy I can continue my studies on the campus I call home. In my free time, I enjoy cycling, crocheting, and exploring BC.
