Who are we?
Introductions to some CultureNet students and faculty.
Jessica Brodeur
Jessica Brodeur: I’m Jessica Brodeur, a student at Capilano University in the CNET program. I’m fluent in English, French, and IRC. I have a passion for children, solving world hunger, Windows/Mac debates, and acronyms. I aspire to one day work a job where I have my very own office in which I can hang my very own pictures.
Ian Sorley Cook
Ian Sorley Cook: Ian is a multi-talented musician, filmmaker, and Capilano University student. His professional experience includes work on television productions for such media outlets as CTV, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic, as well as media strategy and implementation for various corporations and non-profit organizations. His music has been featured on MTV television shows such as “Pimp My Ride” and “The Real World”, and in March of 2007, was on a compilation that debuted in the American Billboard Top 200 Albums. Nevertheless in his adult life, he endlessly strives to achieve the perfect balance between hopelessness and ambivalence.
Megan Finnerty
Megan Finnerty: Megan is from Kelowna, BC, and moved down to the lower mainland almost 5 years ago to pursue her education. Her love of visual arts started her down a path in graphic design at BCIT. After two years of technical studies, her desire for broader knowledge brought her to Capilano University, where she is currently enrolled in the CultureNet program. She is a student by day, bartender by night, and a contract graphic designer somewhere in between! A good time for Megan usually involves cheesy movies, great food, and engaging conversation.
Salome Fornier-Hanlon
Salomé Fornier-Hanlon – CNET Year 1: My name is Salomé Fornier-Hanlon. I was born on Valentine’s Day, 1989, and am proud to have been able to sport neon and parachute pants for the first 9.5 months of my existence without being ostracized. I come from a multi-cultural and multi-cultured family (my mother is from France, and my father has created a very musical family). I regard myself as an open, empathetic person, and I love learning about other people’s lives, cultures and opinions on different aspects of the world we live in. I adore art (visual, musical, and culinary), and enjoy smiling at random people on the street, because smiles are contagious. And let it be known that Les Trois Mousquetaires is the best book I have ever read.
Nick Fulton: Nicholas is a student in the Culture net program at Capilano University. His interests lay mostly in computing sciences and social sciences. He is an amateur programmer and website designer and is mostly self taught. He is excited about the program he is in and what it means to mix and merge Culture and Technology.

Brian Ganter - CNET Faculty: Teaches literature, media, and critical theory in the English Department and the CultureNet program at Capilano University.
Aurelea Mahood
Aurelea Mahood - CNET Faculty: Convenes CultureNet – an Associate of Arts in Culture + Technology – and coordinates the Department of English. Her teaching and research interests include all things modernist, graphic, and electronic. When not surrounded by piles of magazines, books and coffee cups, Aurelea can be found riding and running the local trails.
Jordan Mowat
Jordan Mowat: Jordan has been a writer for 15 years and intends to continue, though he enjoys using any medium to amuse, confuse, or challenge people, not just words. His favourite weather is the fog.
