A Bit About My Family and Myself

• I grew up in Antigonish, a small town in
  Northeastern Nova Scotia.
• My parents names are Garry and Karin and I have a
  16 year old sister named Silvia.
• My husbands name is Kris Hunter. He is currently
  a Ph.D. candidate in fisheries biology here at
  U.B.C.

My father Garry, my mother Karin, my husband
Kris, myself, and my sister Silvia.

And of course

• Our cats Merra and Corin, my family is not
  complete without them. They currently live in
  Nova Scotia because they probably would not have
  enjoyed the drive to Vancouver in a U-Haul.

My Education

  Arts in History and English from St. Francis

• If you notice the bullet, it is an icon of the
  X-Ring, a proud school tradition.
• In 2000 I graduated with a Master of Arts in
  History from the University of Waterloo.
• Now I am here at SLAIS.

My Interests

• Probably because of my education, I have a wide
  range of historical interests. Womens history,
  the Middle Ages, historical museums, and material
  culture and preservation are to name just a few.
• I love to read, although I dont have much time
  for pleasure reading these days.

My Interests Continued

• I love to listen to music. My favorite band,
  without a question, is U2.
• I love crafts wreath making, rubber stamping,
  painting, pretty much anything.
• I watch too much TV and I love movies. My
  favorite TV shows are This Hour has 22 Minutes
  and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My favorite movie
  is Dogma.

My Future Professional Goals
I think that the MLIS program will allow me to
build upon my past work and educational
experiences and incorporate them into a future
career. I am interested in working with students
while also continuing to learn about new trends
in information technology. I think that a
University library is the ideal place to achieve
these goals.
