I rode a bicycle from the top of Haleakala Crater Ha·le·a·ka·la Crater An enormous volcanic crater, 829.6 m (2,720 ft) deep, of eastern Maui, Hawaii. The mountain itself is 3,057 m (10,023 ft) high. in Maui to sea level.

Q What do you like about your job? Climbing a lot of mountains. There has been so much to do that all we often see is the mountain (of work, challenges, etc.) ahead of us. What has been truly rewarding has been working with individuals who are excited and committed to making this school a reality, as well as contributing to the growth and development of highly talented people who are making a difference in Northern Ontario. There is a real sense of community in the broader sense. Q If you weren't in this job, what other line of work would you like to pursue? Dancer! It's high energy, fun and I love music. If I wasn't doing this I would probably pursue law which would fit well with my education and profession. |
