As some of you have undoubtedly heard, I am planning to depart the Vancouver Business Journal as of July 14. The next issue of the newspaper you receive will be the last with me at the helm.
Leaving was a hard decision to make – in three years, I've made many great memories with the awesome staff here at the VBJ and with many of you readers, contributing writers and sources – and I truly believe in the mission of the VBJ. But I'm certain the person who fills my shoes will bring new energy, ideas and vision to the newspaper.
As for me, I'll be working as an asset manager for Second Step Housing, a Vancouver-based nonprofit that works to foster self-sufficiency for at-risk women and families through affordable housing linked with community services.
It's a new direction for me, but I sincerely hope that I can stay in touch with the many people I've met in my journey as a reporter and editor here.
Cheers and thanks for the good times.
