Since graduating, I have been busy working in the field of community development in various capacities. I am currently working as Coordinator of the Oceanside Health and Wellness Network. I am also thrilled to have been elected as School Board Trustee for Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools and am now serving as Vice Chair of the Board of Education. 

In addition to these roles, I am halfway through my Master of Arts in Community Development at the University of Victoria offered predominantly through distance learning.

Studying Sociology at VIU has been an incredible and life changing experience. Considering the smaller class sizes, relationships that students are able to establish with their instructors creates a more comfortable environment that encourages students to explore their sociological imagination, which, in the end, allows students to gain a better grasp of the complexities associated with the study of Sociology.

To this day, I credit choosing to study Sociology at VIU as being on of the best decisions I have made. I find what I am learning to be incredibly very fulfilling, and I love that I am able to apply it to everyday life. Once you begin to see things from a sociological perspective, you will never work without it, you are constantly engaged on a deeper level.

I graduated with a degree in Sociology in 2012, and today I am working in Communications for Bulletproof 360, a coffee company out of Seattle. In March 2019 I am starting a Masters of Arts in International Communications at Royal Roads University. This degree, tied with my undergrad, will allow me to further my position at Bulletproof and grow into a more senior/leadership role. I loved completing my undergrad in Sociology at VIU because it was a very close knit community.

I currently work for BC Stats as a research analyst, where I design, plan, collect, and analyze quantitative and qualitative survey data.

Vancouver Island University maintains the concept of open access by operating under a priority registration system. Students are given a registration appointment based on the length of time they have been students here and the number of credits they have completed, not their GPA. This provides them with a better opportunity to enroll in the courses they need to complete their program.
