This is a poster I created that shone a positive light on Physical Plant Services. I created the branding idea to add the heart, with Queen's colours, to celebrate the love that people have for PPS and the campus. The images in the poster provide an overview of the services they offer and the types of people that work in the office. ie, culturally diverse, buildings, maitnenance, grounds, interns, etc.

Construction is a large part of what the responsibilities of PPS are. I took this photo as workers were installing windows in the multi million dollar renovated building. I like this picture because it shows how hard working the crew was that worked on the building.

This was the first time PPS had a booth at the Queen's University Summer Orientation to Academics and Resources fair for incoming students and their families. I organized this booth because I thought it was important that students and their guardians know who makes their new campus so beautiful. We also had information about parking, residences, buildings, and sustainability. One of the most exciting events I did at the fair was give away merchandise that I designed all with the same theme.

Being a producer required me to produce more than 5 ads or PSA's per week while training volunteers how produce their weekly radio shows.

Here is the link to one of my favourite ads that I produced to date.

My first plane ride was in a WWII bomber with two Canadian war vetrans. I had to hold myself back from crying because it was magical seeing the look on the vetran's faces. To the left is a photo of when we were ascending up into the sky. This is why I believe field trips are one of the most exciting and rewarding things anyone can do.

Meeting with Canadian Neuroscientist and Astronaut Roberta Bondar was a highlight moment for me! In the interview below, she explains two things that I will pass on to my students:

1. If you have a dream, you have to work to get there.

2. Pursue your passion... But passion needs a strategy.

Interviewing bands was one of my favourite things to do because you never know what you are going to get! Listen to two of my interviews at the link below.

One of my main initiatives while I held this position was developing a resource that featured all of the different student work from all areas of the department. This included videos, audio recordings, photographs, news stories, etc. I did this because I believe that ever form of media deserves to be seen and acknowledged.
