 Eartha joined Altus in January 2019 for her co-operative education work term. She is currently pursuing her BSc in Science and Business at the University of Waterloo, specializing in Biology and brings a wealth of knowledge from her studies and past co-op work terms. 

In this versatile role, Eartha has found herself working with many people at Altus Assessments, from the design team, the operations team, research team, and sales. She balances creating small graphics to planning large conferences and is always up for a challenge. This year Altus led its first-ever conference for the healthcare admissions community and Eartha played a vital role in the lead up to the event by planning, organizing and executing on the day of. She brought her experiences from running TEDxUW in the past at her university and used skills developed there to help push The Admissions Summit forward, something we really needed!

Known for her great sense of humour, infectious laugh, and love of Crocs footwear, Eartha has made herself an invaluable member to the ever-growing Altus team. We enjoy her presence so much, we asked her to stay on for an additional term! Luckily, she said yes! And is with us for a total of eight months.

When Eartha’s not at Altus, you can find her playing ice hockey, eating dumplings in Chinatown downtown Toronto, and looking at pictures of corgis on the internet. She is originally a small town girl, reining from Kincardine, Ontario just off of Lake Huron. Growing up on a hobby farm, it comes to no surprise that she loves country music and can be found at her desk humming to Shania Twain while she works. 

Keep celebrating personal and team success. 👏 Thank you Eartha!
