It has been my honor to serve fellow AAPS members in the past two years as an elected Member at Large and a member of the Professional Development (PD) Committee. I joined UBC in 2009, and I am currently a Programmer Analyst in UBC IT.

In the past two years, I worked with AAPS staffs and the PD committee to listen to your feedback and brought more PD events according to your needs. I am pleased with the growing members’ engagement through PD events. Some other initiatives I am working on or plan to work on include bringing PechaKucha style knowledge sharing presentations, exploring the possibility of bringing in flexible benefits, etc.

Nevertheless, my focus is enhancing job security and increasing rehiring rate. Since coming to UBC, I have witnessed numerous “termination without cause.”  Many laid-off AAPS members were qualified for other UBC openings, but the rehiring rate is very low. If re-elected, I will continue working with you on those two challenges through advocacy and negotiation.

In my own time, I like gardening and writing poems. I invite you to visit my LinkedIn to learn more about me. Thank you for your support! Please vote me!
