One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish....

Zoology Aquatics Facility manager and Health and Safety chair.

I eat, sleep, and breathe fish...sometimes I actually smell like fish. Embedded in my soul is the passion for fish which includes fish husbandry, fishing, and fish research.   If I'm not found at home messing with my fish tanks or at the aquatics facility, then I'm most likely fishing.

I currently help run the Zoology Aquatics Facility otherwise know as InSEAS (Initiative for the study of the environment and it's aquatic systems) as well as assisting the department to become a safe workplace as the chair of the local safety team.

The things I do at UBC includes:

-Aquatics supply procurement

-Animal husbandry

-Health and safety (for the zoology department)

-Hazardous waste management

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the work I do at UBC and even if you're not sure, just ask me and I'm sure I'll have an answer for you.
