Megan says her most enjoyable experiences include working as a laboratory assistant and library ambassador, volunteering at the Women’s Centre and KidsAbility and being a science orientation coordinator. During her summers off, she pursued new opportunities like her internship at a hospital in Quito, Ecuador. She’s made lasting friendships with students and faculty members that she says helped shape her into the person she is today.
After graduation she plans to attend medical school and her aspiration is to become a general practitioner. "The application process is a long and difficult one," acknowledges Megan, "but I'm ready and excited for the journey that I am about to embark on."
"My experience at Waterloo has definitely prepared me for the future. My mentality towards setbacks has changed for the better," she says, reminding us all to “take it one step at a time and have fun along the way because everything happens for a reason.
