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

My top UBC tip for my colleagues, or for someone beginning their UBC journey:
UBC is massive and it is very easy to work in silos. Get to know as much of the UBC community as you can through formal and informal UBC networking events. You will find some very cool/interesting/helpful people in buildings next door to yours that you may otherwise never meet
