I found math easy and interesting, and realized I wanted to keep studying it while finding ways to apply my knowledge to improve people’s lives. I really appreciated Professor Chris Bauch’s research in mathematical epidemiology, and was so excited when he agreed to supervise my master’s thesis at the African Institute for Mathematical Science (AIMS) in Rwanda. I proposed a continuation of our work together, and came to Waterloo because he is my mentor and I knew I could learn more from him.
