Amy Liu
In first year, I wish I knew about the services that the school provides that would have made my first year experience a lot smoother.

Involvement outside the classroom:

  • UW Badminton Club
  • reboot

I enjoy...

  • Badminton
  • Running
  • Writing
  • Public speaking
  • Climbing trees
  • Cooking
  • Trying new foods
  • Board games
  • Piano
  • Learning new languages

Favourite place to study: I prefer studying at home because I like constant access to food and privacy but if I am on campus I don't mind studying in MC because it is open 24 hours. I've stayed there overnight a number of times.

Favourite place to eat in Waterloo: I absolutely love Shawerma Plus!

Memorable co-op experience: My first co-op work term was at Sun Life Financial. I worked as a Web Application Developer, maintaining one of the intranet sites as well as developing the Innovation Program. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere because all of the full-timers were open to helping the less experienced. I was surprised by how laidback sometimes the work could be, especially in such a corporate firm.

Plans for life after CFM: Assuming I graduate, my plans for life after CFM include pursuing a Master's degree, marks allowing. I don't have an end goal as I feel that learning should be ongoing but I am attracted to working in the financial technology sector and working my way up the corporate ladder.

Fun fact: I'm lactose-intolerant but that does not stop me from indulging in cold dairy treats such as frozen yogurt and cheesecake.
