Meet Michelle Tinling
Role: Workday Student Business Analyst
Michelle Tinling joined the Office of the Provost in August 2024 on secondment from the UBC Okanagan Library to support the implementation of Workday Student at UBC Okanagan. Michelle has been a strong source of support and a familiar face to the UBC Okanagan community, supporting students, faculty and staff across a number of Faculties and units.
PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT YOU DO IN THE OFFICE OF THE PROVOST.
My role is part of the Workday Student Transition Support Network, which includes six positions that work closely with the Integrated Renewal Program (IRP) Student team to assist and help with the transition to Workday Student. We aim to support the UBC Okanagan community during the transition by providing Okanagan-specific help and resources.
I work with Cuc Nguyen to support the Faculties by learning their processes and helping the administrative staff and faculty through the transition. Each Faculty has unique needs and applications, and I enjoy working with faculty and staff to help them find solutions that support their work.
WHAT UPCOMING PROJECTS OR CURRENT INITIATIVES ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?
After years of planning, Workday Student is now live. June registration will be in the new system and UBC will be fully using Workday Student by September 2024. I’m excited to be part of this project when we’re beginning to explore the applications of Workday Student for learning and teaching.
WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE TO WORK AT UBC OKANAGAN?
I am from the Okanagan region and had the opportunity to start with the UBC Okanagan Library in 2012 as an auxiliary employee. I liked that there are a lot of job options, great colleagues and new and different projects to work with all the time.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE OKANAGAN ACTIVITY OR SPOT AND WHY?
I love to hike in the hills out around the south slopes and the Kettle Valley Trestle network with my dog, a husky cross named Suka.
