Program: Biology
Year: 2
Pronouns: She/Her
Career goal: I hope to one day be in an occupation that helps others!
How I get involved: I get involved with my surrounding community at Waterloo! I have volunteered at the UW Women's Centre where a strong show of my pride as a queer woman blossoms. Helping and talking to people within fitness spaces in Waterloo has also made me feel so much joy. Now, I'm looking forward to Orientation Week where hopefully I am able to carry this sense of belonging to new students coming to Waterloo.
Why I love my program
While the knowledge I learn brings me one step closer to aiding people in the future, the core of my love for Honours Biology stems from the people I'm surrounded with. My professors and classmates alike are so passionate in how they teach and learn that it's hard to not let it light a flame within me as well.
Why University of Waterloo?
I chose Waterloo for their Co-op programs and organized outlines on their websites. Real-world, applicable, hands-on experiences are very important to me. Through Co-op, I feel that I am able to determine what I would like to do as well as careers that I would like to avoid in the future. Additionally, the outlines on the Waterloo websites were clear and concise. This relieved some anxiety I had with picking universities and was a factor in my ultimate decision to join Waterloo.
