After a hiatus of several years, I’m back at the Dirty Apron with some of my favourite people! I deliver food orders, mostly at lunch, but pretty much whenever they need me. I love the variety. I love this company.

One of the best bosses I ever had needed someone to help her out with her wedding planning business…so I stepped up to the plate. I have gotten to the point in my life where I would rather work for the perfect boss than the perfect job.

I answer the phones. I greet the clients; of both the two- and four-legged kind, and sometimes even the no-legged kind, for we treat reptiles too! I process insurance claims. I source veterinary diets. I provide empathetic customer service during what at times can be a pet guardian's worst moment. But I do it all with a smile, because I love the variety.

That was a whirlwind 3 weeks of restraining, medicating, cleaning and walking patients, in addition to performing basic lab tests and many, many loads of laundry (which is surprisingly satisfying). My favourite part, by far, was watching the induced vomiting and taking guesses on what item had been swallowed…I can still remember the smell: )

While still putting in the occasional shift at Glacier Media, I am now fighting the good publishing fight on behalf of my clients for HANS (Health Action Network Society), Visitors' Choice (now under new owhership) and CruisePlus Ltd. (who have happily supplied my milk money for over two decades).I create their magazines, design their ads (or improve.

I'm expanding my horizons in the catering industry as a member of CCC's Operations team. We coordinate catering orders, keep track of inventory, and liaise with event planners in organizing setup materials for events. I also step in from time to time as an emergency delivery driver.

While graphic design (and Glacier Media) will still play a bit part in my life, I am opting out of the industry for awhile. Print media may be waning, but everybody needs to eat. I'm loving my new gig, driving around the Lower Mainland to bring the wonderful food of the Dirty Apron Cooking School and Delicatessen to the offices and homes of discerning.

The third time's the charm! I'm back at Glacier Media in the employ of another one of its publications, the Real Estate Weekly. While an ad-heavy real estate newspaper may not seem to be in much need of an editorial designer, the fact is that it does, and so here I am. In addition to the weekly REW papers for various Lower Mainland neighbourhoods, we.

I worked for this company in its humble beginnings as Business In Vancouver newspaper from 1989 to 1992, followed by a 16-year hiatus at The Georgia Straight...and now that the little BIV empire has expanded and diversified, I'm back...this place is like the Hotel California.

Designed ads, created editorial layouts, Photoshopped a LOT of "adult escort" pics, proofread, and pre-pressed -- both in the digital days and the analog ones of the early nineties, when we still did manual paste-up and created images on a PMT machine (ah, the smell of those chemicals)! But my proudest achievement was resurrecting Chuck Palahniuk from the.

I was pulled from the obscurity/glory of the reception desk when a brand-new Business in Vancouver newspaper was unloading boxes of brand-new Macintosh computers off the elevator and I said, "Hey! I just learned how to use those – I want a job in your production department!" Started as a Production Coordinator, liaising between the sales and creative.

Played records, read the hourly news (I was renowned for my ability to properly pronounce "nuclear") and held down the fort on Sunday afternoons when the CBC took over the airwaves.

Certificate, Veterinary Technician Assistant, 94%

Graphic Design served me well, and I loved my brief foray into the catering industry...but when Covid reared its ugly head, I knew I.

Certificate, Prepress/Desktop Publishing And Digital Imaging Design, 95%

This three-month career course taught me basic file management, how to move a mouse around... and a handful of Macintosh software.

Certificate Of Journalism, Newspaper Design (In The Pre-Computer-Assisted Era)

As a journalism student, the most important thing I learned is that I liked putting the student newspaper together a lot more than the.
