While growing up most have preconceived ambitions of what they want to do; on the contrary, Heather Gross first discovered how she wants to live. Listen to how uncertainty led her on a journey of traveling and interfaith, one that uncovered an effective design method and ultimately, her career path.

Heather Gross holds a master’s degree in Human Geography and is an IB graduate of Pearson College UWC. Since January 2007, she has been the Director of Admissions at Pearson College UWC. There, she strategizes and implements student admission both internationally and as coordinator of the Canadian selection process for UWC. Before her work in the UWC system, she worked in recruitment and admissions at the University of Alberta and in informal education at the Royal Alberta Museum and William A. Switzer Provincial Park. She enjoys bringing people together and is pleased when the conversation turns to matters of geography and international education.
