Biography

Vivian is originally from Hamilton, Ontario but has also spent significant time living in Spain at various times in her childhood and during her undergraduate degree. She has also been to Brazil (where she has family), the Dominican Republic, Greece, Portugal, and Morocco. When she travels, she enjoys learning the less formal side of historical events, finding humor in the similarities of the challenges faced by people of the past and present. Vivian has previously held roles at the University of Western Ontario as a Curriculum Support Administrator with the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, and was a Project Coordinator for the Mustang Maps project with their Study Experience office.
