UBC Master of Archival Studies/ Master of Library Information Studies Student
As part of a volunteer professional experience through the UBC School of Information, I completed a systems project at the Vancouver Art Gallery Library & Archives during the winter 2020 academic term.
In October 2018, as part of the course ARST 516 Management of Current Records, I gave a presentation on the ongoing and worsening problem of the improper disposal of paper medical records. Inspired by a recent study by Baxter et al. (2018), this presentation addressed the issue, relevant legislation, secure disposal methods, potential consequences, and suggestions moving forward. On January 23, 2019, I adapted this presentation for a talk at Molecular You, a digital health company in Vancouver.
