Naomi is highly collaborative and has an innovative vision for how to schedule programming in ways that create new possibilities and options for students. She constantly finds opportunities to improve our programming, and she steps forward to promote new ideas and practices related to our scheduling challenges and modes of delivery.
Naomi always steps up to assist students and uses her knowledge of MyHumber from Scheduling and Records to help students find solutions to their registration needs. She has also held the role of a teacher in the past and this experience gives her a unique perspective, as she often can relate to students and faculty on all levels.
Naomi is always ready to lend a hand to her team and to her peers. No job is too big or too small. Whether it is supporting her colleagues and FLAS leadership to meet deadlines, working across faculties and departments, invigilating an exam, providing support at an event, or convocation marshalling, Naomi is always ready to volunteer her help, and often takes the lead, setting an example to her peers. She inspires us with her passion for Humber and our students.
She has developed a strong rapport with all those she interacts with and is a welcome beacon for those who visit FLAS. Naomi is an active participant in many FLAS initiatives and has been key in shaping our support staff and scheduling best practices. Naomi was one of the first in FLAS to participate in Humber's sustainability initiatives and will share her findings with her peers, often encouraging them to get involved.
In addition, Naomi is on College Council and has been a valued contributor to the mindfulness, equity, diversity and inclusion focus that FLAS has fostered as part of Humber's many initiatives, by sharing, participating and being an ally to many cohorts/ groups in Humber’s diverse community. It's people like Naomi that help Humber's culture to thrive.
