Lisa Marie Barron
Since graduating, I have been busy working in the field of community development in various capacities. I am currently working as Coordinator of the Oceanside Health and Wellness Network. I am also thrilled to have been elected as School Board Trustee for Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools and am now serving as Vice Chair of the Board of Education.
In addition to these roles, I am halfway through my Master of Arts in Community Development at the University of Victoria offered predominantly through distance learning.
I am happy to have studied at VIU for many reasons. Most importantly, attending VIU offered me small class sizes and engaged learning while I continued to raise my two children in Nanaimo. Studying at VIU opened up many opportunities for me to begin a career I love.
