Assistant
Media Relations & Public Affairs
I support UVic’s talented communications officers and make sure they can get riveting, accurate and up-to-date news out the door and to the public. I help to keep the university’s fingers on the pulse of everything happening around UVic, and I provide administrative support for the team, ensuring access to resources and will often be the first point of contact for visitors and members of the media.
