I am with the School of Engineering on the Okanagan campus of The University of British Columbia. I am interested in serving as a representative on the 2019 President’s Advisory Committee for the Selection of a Deputy Vice-Chancellor for the Okanagan campus. I have extensive experience with universities within Canada (I have been a faculty member at three of them now) and bring this experience to the committee. I am quite familiar with the way that this particular campus operates and on its distinctiveness from its Point Grey counterpart. I also have seen how the two campuses can harmoniously work together in order to achieve a greater good. I have extensive experience with executive searches while at The University of British Columbia. I believe that the committee will benefit from this. I have a passion about UBC’s Okanagan campus, have witnessed its tremendous growth over the past decade, and believe that its considerable promise has yet to be fully realized; excellence, of course, has a latency period. I will work tirelessly with the other members of this committee in order to ensure that we secure the best candidate to realize our collective Okanagan dream. A priority for me will be seeking a Deputy Vice-Chancellor that will improve conditions for the staff, faculty, and students of our university. I consider myself a constructive and cooperative problem solver. I aim to use these skills in order to secure a bright future for our campus.
