Tiffany - Biology

Science Ambassador
Tiffany Fun

Program: Honours Biology, Joint Honors Music, Human Nutrition Minor, Medical Physiology Minor

Year: 5

Stream of study: Co-op

Pronouns: She/Her

Career goal: I want to pursue a career in product development or innovation of cultivated or plant based meat! So after I finish my undergrad, I'm planning on completing a Masters in Food Science.

How I get involved: Currently I'm just a Team Lead Science Ambassador, but in previous terms I've been heavily involved with UW Cooking Club as one of the presidents, VP Internal, and General Exec. I've also been involved with the Biology Undergraduate Society (BUGS) as VP Social and Event Coordinator; Science Orientation as the Food and Sustainability Coordinator; UW SciSoc as a Peer Mentor; Science CnD as a weekly volunteer; and in first year I was a floor representative for MKV's Residence Council!

Why I love my program

Being in Biology offers so many cool opportunities that allows me to learn in different settings. I love how Biology is so broad and you get a lot of electives to explore your different interests within and outside of Science! As a Biology major, I had the option to go to Conestoga College in my third year for the fast track Biotechnology Technician diploma. While I was at Conestoga College, I discovered my interest in laboratory grown tissues, hence my career goal in product development of cultivated or plant based meat!

Why University of Waterloo?

Co-op! Going into university, I had no idea what I wanted to pursue at all. I figured that co-op would allow me to try different careers before committing to a specific field and I was right! I was even unsure of being in science because I also really liked music, but UW has allowed me to explore my interests in Science and Music.
