Okanagan

Year I started working at UBC:

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

Associate Dean of Research, environmental and animal literature expert.


The best thing about my work/role at UBC:

Incredible opportunities for collaboration and support for interdisciplinary research.

At home in the garden with my Sheltie. Second place: outside the fish taco van, when it's on campus.


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

The Okanagan campus, like the city of Kelowna, hasn't yet decided what it's going to be about. That can be disappointing initially to arrivals from elsewhere, but it's also a tremendous opportunity.
