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.
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.
I designed and organized a formal dinner and charity event for over 200 first-year residents. The event featured a sit-down, family-style dinner, photo booths, live music, and a live auction, raising over $600 for the Canadian Mental Health Association.
