CBC Innoversity Interns Announced!It is with great pleasure that the CBC announces the five successful Innoversity interns for 2006. CBC Radio – Jeffrey Overmars
The CBC received many wonderful candidates for the program this year, and we hope those selected find their time with us rewarding. CBC is pleased to support Innoversity. As the founding sponsor, we have watched it grow from a simple idea to an exciting vehicle for sharing ideas and experiences, stimulating innovative thinking and meeting many talented people. As Canada’s public broadcaster, CBC is committed to reflecting the spectrum of voices and perspectives that make Canada unique in all our programming and program teams. Being a part of Innoversity has helped us further these goals. And through the internship program, we learn about other ways to represent and connect with Canada’s many diverse communities. Please join us in congratulating the 2006 interns: Jeffrey Overmars is a graduate of the University of King’s College School of Journalism in Halifax, N.S. Prior to that, he studied Sociology at St. Francis Xavier University in his hometown of Antigonish, N.S, focusing on disability issues. Jeff has worked as a gas attendant, hotel desk clerk, office temp, secretary, warehouse lackey, telemarketer, street-level fundraiser and has written articles for the Halifax Chronicle Herald, Halifax Daily News and The Globe and Mail. Visually impaired himself, Jeff works part-time as an Access Technology Instructor for BALANCE, a not-for-profit organization serving visually impaired and blind people living in the Toronto area. He has travelled throughout Canada and western Europe, and taught adaptive technology to the employees of a workshop for the blind in Antigua, W.I. As a long-time CBC listener, Jeff is pleased to be working with Metro Morning. Alia Hussey is a graduate of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2005. Prior to law school, Alia attended the University of British Columbia, where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree (Eng. Hons.) and Master of Arts degree in English Literature with an emphasis on Renaissance Drama. Alia is an avid consumer of Arts and Media, having grown up on classical repertory theatre in Stratford, Ont. She has a strong background in community radio, music and the dramatic arts. After gaining industry experience at multiple radio stations and in magazine publishing, she worked in the Marketing department of the Stratford Festival and, during law school, acted as Volunteer Co-ordinator for Artists' Legal Advice Services in Toronto.

Mandy Luk has 10 years experience as a writer and producer in both print and broadcasting in Canada and Hong Kong. She moved to Canada from Hong Kong in 1994, after completing an undergraduate degree in Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She kicked off her career at Ming Pao Daily News, and later joined Fairchild TV in Toronto. While pursuing journalism in the city, Mandy obtained a Masters degree in Economics from the University of Toronto. Then in 1998, she returned to her birthplace to pursue stories relating to Hong Kong's change of sovereignty to China. Four years later, Mandy returned to Canada. Since then, she has focused her time and energy building her career as a television producer on current affairs programs. From 2003 to 2005, as a producer/editor at Fairchild TV, Mandy led a small team of reporters, producing two half-hour weekly current affairs programs—one in Cantonese and one in Mandarin. She became a freelancer in August of 2005, and has been actively seeking opportunities to help enrich the diversity of Canada’s media industry. In addition to weekly appearances as a commentator on Fairchild Radio’s current affairs talk show Newsbeat, Mandy has also recently worked on projects for Omni TV and Fairchild TV, before joining CBC. Jeremy Brascoupe graduated from the Aboriginal Media Program, a print and broadcast journalism degree program offered by Humber College in Toronto and the First Nations Technical Institute in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, in 2004. Jeremy has worked and interned at places such as Omni TV, APTN (The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network), The Eastern Door and Aboriginal Voices Radio. He hopes to continue working in the fields of production and journalism. Jeffrey Lim is a graduate of the Broadcast Journalism Program at Humber College in Toronto. He is currently working with CBC Sports on Sports Saturday and CBC’s Olympics coverage. Previously, he worked with the NHL Network and JA Media Services. Working in the media has always been a dream for Jeffrey, and he says Innoversity has helped him progress in the field and opened many doors. Jeffrey has a passion for all sports, and enjoys music, movies, video games and Texas Hold ’Em Poker. |
