Vicky Baker is a Project Manager in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, UBC. She is proficient in English and Spanish. Colleagues describe her as "Vicky is dedicated, passionate, diligent, as well as a champion of positive collaboration and of collective intelligence. Despite her extreme modesty, she has made an enormous impact at UBC. She introduced a freecycle room to Geography, runs the staff community garden plot, pushed for paperless meetings, drove the change to edible landscaping around our building, led staff tours of environmental facilities, led eco audits but, most importantly, she is always willing to talk 'with' (not 'to') our community about best eco-practises. She truly brings people together, inspires change and, in general, is a pleasure to work with. " and "Hiring Vicky Baker is an HR choice that would bring noteworthy praise on any organization--and major productivity gains as well. I worked with Vicky and her boss Dan Hiebert at Metropolis British Columbia, a consortium of academic institutions focused on immigration, migration and diversity research and policy issues. Vicky is exceedingly smart and diplomatic, and very deft at addressing organizational complexity. She was the project coordinator always asking savvy questions, on top of all the details while maintaining a light touch. Vicky ensured that our strategic communications and public relations projects drove forward to the benefit of a whole range of powerful stakeholders involved in the national Metropolis conference. I've worked with a lot of top-notch professionals and Vicky is the real deal. Vicky is the kind of hire that gets HR professionals promoted."
