Additional Information
Hello! I’m Vanya (she/her) and I am an Undergraduate Career Advisor at CCD. I am also an International PhD Candidate at the Department of English Language and Literature researching the ethics of alternative meat options.
Previously, I completed my Integrated Masters in English Studies with a minor in Sociology at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. During my graduate studies, I participated in an exchange program to Aarhus, Denmark and I got to travel and study in Europe for a year. It was an amazing experience and it strengthened my personal and professional life incredibly!
After I graduated, I worked at a startup in Chennai, India as a content writer and marketing manager for a year. I then began my PhD at the University of Waterloo. I joined CCD as a Career Advisor after a couple of years of working as a Career Leader. Working with students continues to inspire and humble me every day and I cannot ask for anything better than this!
In my spare time, I love to swim. Don’t be surprised if you catch me running away from my responsibilities and hiding in the pool at PAC! I also love cooking, binge-watching anime and reading classic literature.
