If I am not on your Success Team on Advisor Link, please email me with your full name, SFU student number, and any questions or concerns. Current students should use their SFU email accounts.

Students are also welcome to drop by in person anytime they are at Surrey campus.  My office is inside the main Faculty of Science area at the VERY back of Podium 2.  Go down the ramp that is on the right-hand side of the front counter in the mezzanine, wind your way around and past the Chemistry lab, and down the next hallway.  Glass entrance doors say "Faculty of Science".
