About me...
In my role as Technology Administrator at the Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba I manage the technology needs of the faculty and the day-to-day operations of our two Computer Labs. I provide support to our administrative staff, professors, instructors, faculty advisors, and our students.
I am a strong believer of life-long learning having earned most of my education later in life. After working at Safeway for 19 years, I returned to school and graduated in 2003 from the St. Boniface Arts & Technology Centre (since renamed the Louis Riel School Division Arts & Technology Centre) with a Certificate in Office Technology and as a Microsoft Office Specialist. At my graduation ceremony, I was awarded the Governor General's Medal for Academic Excellence and I received the Louis Riel School Division Legacy Scholarship.
During my final months at the Arts & Technology Centre, I competed in the 6th Annual Skills Manitoba Provincial competition and earned a gold medal in the IT Software Applications category. I then competed as part of Team Manitoba in the 9th Annual Skills Canada National competition held in Kitchener, Ontario and earned a bronze medal. This was the first national medal win for Manitoba competitors in the IT Software Applications category. You can read the Winnipeg Free Press article here.
I came to the Faculty of Education for a 6-week work practicum in May of 2003 and was then hired by the faculty and started a new chapter in my life.
