A place I called home for over 20 years

UBC was my home for over 20 years, first as a graduate student and then as a faculty member. Both my children were born and raised at UBC. These were some of the best years of my life! I've had the privilege of working with incredibly kind, smart and concerned students, colleagues, alumni, and mentors.
