Mary-Anne Parker
#map4AUGSA
Candidate for AUGSA President
Hello Athabasca Graduate Students! My name is Mary-Anne Parker and I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies. I’m in the final project stage and my project explores the role of End of Life Doulas using phenomenological methodology – largely because I love hearing about and understanding people’s life narratives. Passionate about online learning and how it fits with life stages, I have spent the last year as VP External highlighting the graduate student perspective and bringing graduate student stories to life. I am eager to continue this important advocacy work both within and outside Athabasca’s virtual walls, to continue to foster collaborative relationships and to keep working hard to represent graduate students. Therefore I am excited to submit my candidacy for President of AUGSA.
As a Mum, Nana, Artist, Student, Instructor, End of Life Doula and caregiver, I am appreciative of the variety of experiences, roles, and life stages that bring students to AU. You can follow my own journey via Twitter and Instagram. Thanks!
