McKenna Lewis

Vice President of Events

Hiya I’m McKenna, but most people call me Kenna! My name actually comes from the Kinna clan in Ireland, and I’ve lived in North Delta for all of my 22 years of my life. Currently I’m in my 2nd year at BCIT doing Tourism Sales. I work as a bartender, which has fueled my love for mixology and creating unique, flavourful experiences for my guests. Outside of work and BCIT, you’ll usually find me cosplaying at events like Anirevo and FanExpo Vancouver, or speeding on off-roading trails with my race quad and family friends. I’d describe myself as creative, fun, and someone who always tries to make everyone smile. My goal is to become an event planner using my creativity and people skills to bring memorable experiences to life. My passion for event planning comes from all my supportive friends and love for parties.

Annual Regional Conference

Amy Bacon

Co-Vice President of ARC

Hi my name is Amy! I’m a second year BCIT Marketing student in the Digital and Brand Strategy option choice. 

With a background in Psychology and Film studies, I was drawn to marketing as it feels like the perfect blend of both worlds. I'm a creative person who enjoys curating unique content and concepts for brands and I'm hoping to build a career dedicated to exactly that! For the 2025/26 school year I'm excited to lead as one of two VP’s for BCITMA’s Annual Regional Conference alongside Catharine Anderson.

Beyond the classroom, I also write music. My background in storytelling through songwriting shapes the way I approach marketing and guides me in everything I do. I additionally love creating content for my own pages, exploring the city and cafe hopping. I’m optimistic about this coming year and excited about developing my skills in the world of digital marketing.

Professional Development

Michael Binner

Co-Vice President of Professional Development

My name is Michael, and I’m in my second year of Marketing Management in the Sales option. I chose this path because I enjoy the social side of sales, as every interaction is different, and meeting new people is always exciting. I love learning how people think, act, and respond, and I see sales as an opportunity to build meaningful connections while continuously developing my skills.

In addition to school, I work as a server, where I balance academics with a fast-paced job. This role has strengthened my communication, multitasking, and problem-solving abilities while teaching me how to stay adaptable under pressure. Managing both school and work has helped me become more disciplined and resilient.

Outside of academics and work, I’m passionate about sports and staying active. I enjoy soccer, hiking, spike ball, and biking, and I’m also a big fan of combat sports like UFC and boxing. I also play guitar, which has been a longtime hobby of mine.

Hi! I’m Keegan. My background in competitive hockey shaped a strong drive that now fuels my studies and career goals. I’m in my first year of the BBA program at BCIT, where I’ve focused on building skills in sales, leadership, and professional growth. Outside of school, I enjoy being outdoors, especially on or around the water, and I’m always looking for new ways to challenge myself. Personal growth and making a positive impact on others are values I try to carry into everything I do.

Joining the BCITMA has been one of my best decisions, giving me the chance to surround myself with ambitious and talented peers. As VP of Professional Development, I’m dedicated to connecting students with industry professionals and creating opportunities that prepare us for the next stage of our careers.
