Science Ambassador
Sam fun

Program: Psychology, Biology minor

Year: 3

Stream of study: Co-op

Pronouns: She/Her

Career goal: Psychiatry and/or Research, still figuring it out

How I get involved: I have been a Biology TA, volunteered with Psychoc as the Events Director, volunteered with the PsychSoc Peer Mentorship Program, and am currently a Research Assistant for one of the anthropology labs.

Why I love my program

This is a perfectly tailored program for me because of my passion for science and psychology. In high school, I was puzzled about making a choice between these two streams but at Waterloo, I can study them together. I have a keen interest in research and being in a program with lab requirements is a plus point!

Why University of Waterloo?

The opportunity to be in a co-op program and explore multiple career fields within and outside psychology is definitely what piqued my interest in UW.
