Welcome Jake White, Orillia Administrative and Scheduling Assistant

Jake White has joined the Faculty of Education as Administrative and Scheduling Assistant, Orillia campus.

This new role marks a return to Lakehead for Jake, who worked as an Administrative Assistant in the Faculty in the summer of 2019 and who graduated from the BEd program in 2021.

“I’m really enjoying being back on campus and seeing all of the familiar faces,” says Jake. “The faculty and staff at Lakehead Orillia played a big part in my personal and professional development, and a major role in my success during my undergraduate and BEd degrees. Now, I hope to carry the torch and play a positive and supportive role in students’ educational journeys.”

Outside of work, Jake says he is interested in ‘all things tech.’

“For the past while, I've spent a lot of my free time programming for various personal projects, and collaborating with other developers. I always enjoy learning new skills and information, and this has led to me picking up new hobbies every several months. I'm currently looking into animation workflow and tools, and hope to start tinkering soon. Besides that, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and, of course, taking time to do absolutely nothing and lay like broccoli.”

Welcome, Jake!
