Rebekah's education includes a short time at the University of the Fraser Valley building a portfolio to move forward into the New Media Design and Development program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, from which she received a Senior Management Certificate. Her interests include appreciation for art and design as well as the wonders of new technology.
