Hunkered down in the project management trailers of the Destination Project site you\u2019ll find fitness fiend, employee and current student, Nicole Bach. As one of the project coordinators on the new science and academic building, Nicole is responsible for relocating\u00a0people\u00a0into the new space along with\u00a0furniture, fixtures and major equipment that will be purchased or moved into the new building. Basically\u00a0everything\u00a0that would come loose if you turned the building upside down and shook vigorously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to the University in March of 2011 and started working with Institutional Analysis within the President\u2019s office. I\u2019ve always been a big numbers geek. I love being able to take complex information and break it down in way that\u2019s easy to understand and helps\u00a0people do their job more effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been working towards my general science degree for a few years now. I take two classes a semester and I\u2019m planning to be done in the fall of 2019. It can be quite challenging at times juggling study and work and life but the pay off will be totally worth it. There\u2019s a fun group of staff members who are also studying so we\u2019ve built our own little support network to help us get through it.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of work and school, I find a lot of joy in fitness and pushing myself physically. My family and I are frequent users of the recreation facilities and activities on campus. I have what you\u2019d call a love\/hate relationship with the advanced conditioning class on campus. Sometimes I think our instructor Heidi hates us with the workouts she schedules but when you\u2019re finished, a sweaty pile on the floor, it\u2019s hard to feel anything but amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy latest obsession is mountain biking, its just so much fun and you feel so free. There\u2019s a few guys on the PCL Construction team who are keen bikers and there\u2019s a great mountain biking community within the University too. We dip in and out of the coulees and hustle along the trails, we are so lucky to have the terrain locally for great biking.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolunteering in the community is really important to me. I\u2019m involved with youth triathlons locally as the Race Director for Lethbridge Kids of Steel. My eldest daughter first tried out a mini-triathlon when she was seven and we\u2019ve been involved as a family since then. Both of our girls have since moved on to other sports but we still help organize the annual race here for the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing both a staff member and a student at the U of L is a really enriching experience. I find learning quite addictive in some ways. The more you learn, the more you want to know what else is out there to absorb. Learning about what make life tick along and discovering how even the simplest action of the body requires an incredible amount of behind the scenes work is truly mind blowing. I love working for an institution where my learning opportunities are endless.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
