Bio
Victoria Miles (Nunuk)
There are creatives and then there are CREATIVES! Denise is the latter. From the crafty to the corporate, she finds, makes or hacks her way to solving problems, taking what she's given and turning it into art. Denise brings an upbeat, energetic spirit to her work that has been with her since Day One at CapU. She shows up proudly, delivers the goods and makes digital magic look easy. For an example of a lifelong learner, look no further than Denise Corcoran.

From my first day working with Denise at Capilano University, I knew she was a team player. No matter who she is working with, she devotes 100% of her attention and skills towards them in order to get the project complete and on time. She is a master of her craft in terms of digital marketing, including web, social media, and e-communications. What sets Denise apart is her positive, "can-do" attitude which is contagious and just makes for a better work environment.
