If during the year, you have questions, concerns or suggestions related to the services we provide, please visit me in the VSAOC offices (C312A & C312B).

My name is Jamie, and I am a fourth-year BBA Student at Okanagan College. My greatest passion is preserving mental and physical health, whether it’s through playing volleyball, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with friends and family. I also value personal growth and always look for ways to learn and improve. Being a part of VSAOC has been a great way to meet students outside of my program and has given me the chance to help create a more inclusive and welcoming campus for everyone.

I’m Shirelle, and I’m a third year business student at Okanagan College Vernon Campus.  I’m excited to be working with the rest of VSAOC to support and lead within the student body.

Hi! I am Paola, I am an international and a fourth year business student. As an introvert, I love creating a comfortable atmosphere where everyone feels happy and welcomed. One of the reasons I love the student association is not just for the people I get to work with, but the students and staff I get to meet and help. If you ever have any questions or just want someone to talk to I am happy to help.
