ePortfolio
My experience as a program manager, coupled with my deep institutional knowledge, made me well-suited to contribute to the Integrated Renewl Project (IRP) team. I had a strong understanding of the team’s functional needs and the ability to leverage my drive, innovation, and communication skills to collaborate effectively with transition and business leads. This allowed me to identify key challenges and deliver solutions through the successful implementation of Workday.
I co-led the planning and execution of onboarding for 300 MBA, MBAN, and MM students from December to August. This included conducting welcome calls, creating orientation modules (e.g., focused on EDI and Academic Integrity), and co-planning a 4-day orientation. My responsibilities involved sourcing speakers, securing venues, and collaborating with internal and external partners. I also led workshops and provided ongoing support to students ensuring a seamless and engaging experience.
Academic concessions are adjustments made to accommodate students facing unforeseen challenges, such as illness or personal emergencies, that impact their ability to meet academic requirements. I supported this process by assisting in decision-making, advising students on concession requests, and contributing to the redesign of the submission form.
As part of the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM), UBC Sauder School of Business hosted the Deans and Directors Event, a key gathering of academic leaders from 32 graduate schools worldwide to foster collaboration and share insights.
I co-led the planning and execution of the event, managing venue selection, attendee communications, and working with the MarCom team to ensure cohesive branding and visuals. My efforts ensured a seamless and impactful experience.
I planned and executed a 2-week residency for 30 students visiting from Shanghai. This involved supporting a team of instructors in building their learning management system and creating the academic schedule. Additionally, I coordinated the logistics for extracurricular activities, including a city tour, ropes course, and a celebration reception, ensuring a seamless blend of academic and extracurricular experiences for the students.
I supported the planning and delivery of the Full-time MBA program's mandatory Global Immersion Experience course. This course involves students working on a consulting project from November to January, followed by travel to a foreign country to learn about the local business landscape and meet with clients in person before presenting their findings. I accompanied 24 students and 2 staff/faculty on a two-week exchange and consultation in Madrid.
I planned and executed two 8-day residencies for 120 professional MBA students across two cohorts. This involved supporting instructors with the development of the learning management system, creating academic schedules, and ensuring timely grade submissions. Additionally, I managed the logistics for room bookings, catering, guest speakers, and final receptions, ensuring a smooth and successful residency experience for all participants.
The UBC IMBA program is a 20-month experience that includes a two-week intensive course in Vancouver, featuring both academic sessions and team-building activities. Following the transition to an online format, I was tasked with finding innovative ways to celebrate the students' learning and collaboration virtually. To achieve this, I gathered votes from the cohort through a Qualtrics survey and produced a video using Adobe Premiere Pro to celebrate their time together.
As an Executive Assistant at UBC Sauder’s Robert H. Lee Graduate School, I leveraged my advanced Qualtrics skills to design a gamified "escape room" for incoming cohorts across five graduate programs. I transformed a traditional workshop on Academic Integrity into an engaging, interactive experience, which was completed by students during their Opening Weekend orientation.
I was hired to design the conference booklet for the First Generation Students' Union GenOne Conference. Using Adobe InDesign, I completed the project within 1.5 months, from the initial consultation to the final booklet delivery.
