She has blessed Communiversity and our little chunk of the world with ten years of service. Although she has been dubbed the office manager many of you will remember her as the funny brown haired girl. For my part, she has made the job of running this crazy program entirely bearable. Behind the humour is a person who is caring enough to actually act on what she believes with a willingness to learn what is necessary to make Communiversity the success story you all love. Unfortunately she will no longer be working at Communiversity after June 30. I will miss her enormously as a daily co-worker and friend. With much love, gratitude and sadness, I must say goodbye.
