Program: Psychology
Year: 4
Pronouns: She/Her
Career goal: I’m still exploring my options, but I would love to pursue a future in Science Communication or Education!
How I get involved: Getting involved on campus is one of my favourite ways to learn new things and meet new people. I've been involved with the Biology Undergraduate Society (BUGS) as VP Social, and with the Kids Science Open house (KSOH) a couple of times now. My favourite volunteer experience, hands-down, has been Orientation! Helping with orientation over the past 3 years has brought me so much joy, and I am so excited to be a team captain this year! I also try my best to attend as many events on campus as possible! One of my favourites is the LASA events (vai Brasil!)
Why I love my program
I love Honours Psychology because it is a mix between science and art! I get to pursue a BSc, learning and growing through both academic and hands-on experiences, directly through the courses I take. This program offers insight into numerous psych and science disciplines, allowing you to tailor your academic career specifically to your interests! I don’t think I’ve met anyone in my program who has had the exact same sequence of courses, and that’s what makes it so special!
Why University of Waterloo?
When deciding on schools, Waterloo was the only one I found who combined my interests of art and science in an interesting and exciting way. Since the day I stepped foot on this campus, I have never regretted the decision to come here. I've experienced so much academic and personal growth since my first year, and have built a wonderful community I don't think I could have cultivated anywhere else (which I know, is surprising for Waterloo’s reputation, but it is the truth!).
