<p>Since returning to Canada in 2006, I have anchored the No. 1 newscast in BC, where there is never a dull moment in politics, the environment, and transportation. None of it would have been possible without the early investment of my instructors and mentors at Mount Royal. If there is one thing that truly stands out about the quality of education at Mount Royal, it is the people. By taking a genuine interest in the lives of their students, they help focus their skills and abilities. The encouragement I received from Al and others (you know who you are!) will stay with me forever. That is why I am so proud to be a graduate of Mount Royal and an advocate for its programs. I can't wait to see what the next 25 years of storytelling will bring."</p>
