Meet Lori Johnston, Academic Advisor:

What do you do and how long have you been at DSB? I assist with all student needs, I have been at McMaster for 22 years and at DeGroote for 12.

What is the best piece of advice you would give a new student? Keep on top of your schoolwork and make time for self-care whatever it is for you; ex. going for a walk, going to the gym, or spending time with friends.

What is your favourite hobby? Right now, my puppy takes up all my spare time – going for walks and playing with other dogs.

What is your favourite Hamilton location to visit or restaurant to eat at? I enjoy going to Pier 8 for walks in the summer and for skating in the winter.

What is your favourite food to bring for lunch at work? Snacks – I eat all day long when I am in the office.
