My name is Renu, and I work in Payroll\u2014where the decimals are precise, deadlines are non-negotiable, and coffee is a core competency.<\/p>\n<p>My professional journey has been shaped through hands-on experience in payroll administration, employee support, and compliance-related work. Over the years, I\u2019ve developed a strong interest in payroll legislation, source deductions, and making sure employees are supported accurately and efficiently throughout their employment journey. To solidify this expertise, I earned my Payroll Compliance Professional (PCP) certification this past December\u2014a rewarding milestone that truly tested the limits of my information absorption but was entirely worth the effort!<\/p>\n<p>Balancing full-time professional growth while raising my young son has taught me resilience, patience, multitasking, and how to answer payroll emails while simultaneously negotiating snack requests from a toddler. Managing both worlds has sharpened my ability to stay exceptionally calm under pressure and multi-task with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the office, you can find me exploring the beautiful trails around British Columbia on my mountain bike, getting lost in a great book, or dancing around the living room with my son. I value kindness, continuous learning, and building positive, authentic connections. I\u2019m incredibly excited to bring my experience to my new role at University of the Fraser Valley, and I look forward to growing my career and connecting with fellow professionals.<\/p>\n<p>March, 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Izabela Buchmeier de Oliveira, Program Administrator, Continuing Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES AWARDED PERMANENT POSITIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>February, 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alesandros Glaros, Project Manager, Research Projects<\/li>\n<li>Holly Cooper, Assistant, Accommodation<\/li>\n<li>Leanne Jarrett, Coordinator, Peace &amp; Reconciliation Centre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>March, 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kelsey Chapdelaine, Facilities Operations Coordinator, Athletics &amp; Recreation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>PERMANENT EMPLOYEES TRANSFERRED INTO NEW POSITIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>April, 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nicole Adams, Chief Financial Officer &amp; Vice President, Administration<\/li>\n<li>Moira Guzyk, Manager, Library Operations &amp; Resources<\/li>\n<li>Kelly Tracey, Manager, Operations, Campus Planning &amp; Facilities Management<\/li>\n<li>Alexander Duff, Manager, Studios<\/li>\n<li>Jaslyne Sunday, Operations Coordinator, Continuing Education<\/li>\n<li>Jenna Glover, School Coordinator, Health Sciences<\/li>\n<li>Pauleen Nuite, Administrative Assistant, Office of the Chief Information Officer<\/li>\n<li>Juan Cisternas Toledo, Maintenance Technician<\/li>\n<li>Dinesh Kumar, Generalist, Logistics<\/li>\n<li>Raechel Healey-Chamberlain, Coordinator, Academic Communications<\/li>\n<li>Alison Reeves, Student Recruiter<\/li>\n<li>Renata Donohue, Administrative Coordinator, Office of the AVP International<\/li>\n<li>Jocelyn Thiessen, Production Assistant, Marketing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the new employees who have joined us over the past few months.
