Kavya Piraba - Biology

Science Ambassador
kavya-piraba-fun

Program: Honours Biology

Year: 3

Stream of study: Co-op

Pronouns: She/Her

Career goal: I'm super interested in optometry!

How I get involved: I’ve dabbled in all kinds of roles! I’ve managed social media at the Science CnD, led marketing for UW Relay for Life, coordinated events for UW Entomology, and volunteered with Let’s Talk Science. These days, I’m a science ambassador, VP of Events for the Biomedical Student Association (BMSA), and a don with the Off-Campus Community (OCC)!

Why I love my program

I love my program for its versatility! Over the past three years, I’ve easily checked off all my optometry prerequisites while also getting the chance to explore passions beyond science, like fine arts.

Why University of Waterloo?

I chose UWaterloo for its challenging curriculum and incredible co-op program! The courses push me, but I know they’re preparing me for the real world while giving me hands-on experience. I also love how diverse the co-op options are, you get to explore different career paths and figure out what truly excites you!
