Year: 2
Pronouns: She/Her
Career goal: Astrophysics research or aerospace engineer!
How I get involved: During my first year, I was a part of the University of Waterloo choir, and I am currently in the process of starting an astronomy club with some other physics students at the university.
Why I love my program
My program is awesome because I get to learn how everything works through physics and math. It's challenging, but that's part of why it's so great - I'm always learning something new. I've also been passionate about space since I was little, so I love that I get to take courses where we learn about things like stars, planets, and cosmology. Basically, we use physics and math to explain how the universe works, which is why I think my program is so cool.
Why University of Waterloo?
I chose Waterloo for its strong physics program and co-op, which will allow me to get work experience in my field before I graduate. I also love the range of extracurriculars offered which allow me to pursue my interests outside of physics as well. And since I've been here, the community of people in my faculty has been kind and supportive, which makes Waterloo a place that I genuinely enjoy studying at.
