Martha Johnson
Martha Johnson is a PSAC Regional Rep who has worked for PSAC for 11 years. Her favourite part of her job is facilitating education courses and working with regional committees. Martha loves to lift weights and draw/paint in her spare time. Often, she will play hide and seek with her cats Loki and Bandit and usually loses. If she had to eat one food for the rest of her life it would probably be cheese omelettes.
Monica Urrutia
Monica Urrutia has been a PSAC Regional Representative for over twenty years and educating and mobilizing union members is what she loves most about her job. She is also active in her own union as the Treasurer for the Canadian Union of Labour Employees and a core member of the Asian Canadian Labour Alliance in BC. If she had only one meal to eat forever, she would choose pork sinigang(a Filipino sour tamarind vegetable soup) and white rice. She feels particularly blessed on the days that her cat Luna, asks her for a hug.
Deanna Kimball
Deanna Kimball has worked for PSAC for 16 years, and is currently the Regional Education Officer for the B.C. Region. Deanna loves what she gets to do everyday. Paulo Freire said, “Education is an act of love and thus an act of courage.” She truly believes this and agrees that it takes great courage to learn/unlearn/relearn on this human adventure we have the privilege of experiencing. Deanna is a popular educator, a poet, and a storyteller, and loves all music. If she could eat one thing for the rest of her life it would be her mom’s soup dumplings. They are fluffy, comforting and remind her of home. Her cat has a unique name, Makoons, which means baby bear in Anishinaabemowin. He definitely is a big baby cat.
