Hi there! My name is Becca, and I was born and raised right here in beautiful Prince Edward Island. I first attended Holland College, where I completed my Business Administration diploma. I then went on to graduate from UPEI's Accelerated Bachelor of Business Administration program in 2023.

Janey-Lynn Perrier
Student Recruiter and Advisor 
 

My name is Janey-Lynn Perrier, and I am from Newfoundland, making me the other kind of “Islander”! I moved to PEI in 2020 to continue my lifelong passion for music. Throughout my time at UPEI I was able to study my favourite art form, Opera. Studying at UPEI has opened so many musical doors for me, bringing me all kinds of real-life experience. While studying here I also grew to be more connected to my culture as a proud Mi’kmaq from the Qalipu First Nation. I gained a minor in Indigenous Studies while also getting to know myself better. By the end of my time at UPEI I was mixing both my passions by getting to be the first to sing O Canada in Mi’kmaq, at my own convocation.

I am excited to be working in the Office of Recruitment and First-Year Advisement. I have had such an amazing time at UPEI that I could not stay away! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Manager of Recruitment and First-Year Advisement 
 

Hi everyone!

My name is Jane and I am from Fredericton, the capital city of New Brunswick, and I love UPEI! I moved here in 2012 to pursue a BSc in Foods and Nutrition. After graduating in 2016, I returned to complete a Bachelor of Education. I was always so excited to explore what UPEI had to offer. They have great courses, extracurriculars, fun activities, and provide an awesome environment to make life-long friends, connections, and memories. When I was a student I was involved with the Applied Human Science Society, I was a Campus Life Advisor, and I represented UPEI at three CIS Curling Championships!

Richelle Greathouse
International Student Advisor 
 

Hello everyone! My name is Richelle Greathouse (Hume) and I was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

I first graduated from UPEI over twenty years ago. After high school I attended McGill University in Montreal. However, after a couple of years I decided to return home to PEI. I am really glad that I came back because I got so much out of my time at UPEI. I loved the small class sizes and the amazing professors.

After a career in banking, I returned to school in 2007 to take my Social Work degree, and embark on a new career journey. I love learning new things and meeting new people, so in 2020 I completed my MEd from UPEI. New students can contact me about travel preparation and immigration requirements; current students can contact me for immigration renewals, personal support and services, and UPEI orientation. Welcome to the UPEI family!

Sarah Cheng
International Student Advisor 
 

Hello everyone! This is Sarah Cheng coming from China. I had been living in Saskatoon for a couple years and successfully survived - 40°C winter! After completing my Master of Education from University of Saskatchewan, I worked for a local non-profit organization for over a year and then decided to travel all the way to the east to become an Islander.

My role is to provide support for incoming international students to maintain lawful immigration status through continuous education on immigration regulations, policies and procedures. Apart from that, I'll also be responsible for some of the student exchange programs.

I'm hoping that your learning journey at UPEI will turn out to be the most rewarding and unforgettable experience in your life!
