About

As a Development Officer at the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems, I am passionate about connecting alumni, industry partners and organizations with opportunities to make a meaningful impact on the future of food and sustainability.

With a proven track record of success in securing major gifts and cultivating relationships with alumni, supporters and community members, I am committed to building strategic partnerships to help fund initiatives in the faculty that will drive innovation and growth in the areas of food science, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship.

Prior to joining UBC, I developed my skills in fundraising and donor/alumni relations at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta by working as an Assistant Director, Advancement. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Commerce with a major in Marketing from the Alberta School of Business.
