Matt Lehti
Digital Design & Development Matt Lehti is a 22-year-old full stack web developer studying in the D3 program on BCIT’s Burnaby Campus. He spends the majority of his time working freelance tech support, and takes satisfaction in fixing problems wherever he finds them. In his downtime he enjoys drawing, writing, and reading.
Lauren MacFarland Broadcast Journalism
Lauren is probably procrastinating on an assignment right now. She loves finding interesting people and telling their stories, and in her spare time, she enjoys knitting, reading, and telling long stories about historical figures that nobody really pays attention to.
