Staff Members
Our staff members manage our day to day operations, and act as a liaison between graduate students and the GSA. We’ll help you get in contact with the appropriate person, whether that is one of our fantastic council members or a staff member at AU.
Hello Athabasca graduate students! I’m Meaghan and I live in Calgary, Alberta with my family. I achieved my Master of Business Administration degree at Athabasca University. Formally, I worked in information technology either focused on training & development, projects, or in the earlier years technical support. I have a diverse career background spanning government, private sector, and post-secondary education. A big part of my role with AUGSA is to act as a liaison between graduate students and the GSA, so please feel free to contact me if you’re looking for information or have questions about AUGSA. If I can’t answer your questions myself, I’ll help you get in contact with the appropriate person, whether that is one of our fantastic council members or a staff member at AU.
