PMBA Librarian
Hello! My name is Kimberly Fama and I am your designated PMBA Librarian.
Everyone has different interpretations of what a librarian does and all the more when there is no access to the physical library. For now, all you have to remember is that I am always here to provide support if you have any questions on business research. In your program, research is vital in producing valuable insights that will bring your output to a whole new level.
So, give me a chance to blow your mind away with the resources we have, only available through your program at UBC Sauder!

Remember that I am only an email away if you have any questions about anything business research related.
