Interests

Prior to working at U of M, I was an International Tour Director. I worked in different regions such as the Rockies, Montreal, New York, Ireland and Northern Ireland. During one off-season, I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and volunteered at a school Kenya. It was from this experience that I decided to return to U of M to pursue cultural anthropology. Once complete, I moved over to the University of Winnipeg to achieve an MA of Cultural Studies, specializing in curatorial practices. My love of cultural, travel and interactions with the environment brought me back to U of M to work at the International Centre as the Student Mobility Coordinator. In September 2020, I joined the Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) as an Office Assistant.

A typical day at the office for me includes: on and off-boarding tasks, signing out keys, appointing access, making travel arrangements, purchasing office equipment, arranging meetings, assisting with Epic and Concur, registering staff and students for events and conferences, and any other general tasks to support members of CEOS.
