Program: Biology
Year: 4
Pronouns: He/Him
Career goal: Upon graduating, I plan to complete an accelerated BScN Program to become an RN. I realized I wanted to chose this pathway through one of my co-op placements as a Patient Transfer Attendant. Through this placement, I realized my passion for patient care and the impact that a compassionate healthcare worker can have on a patient's experience.
How I get involved: I first became involved at Waterloo through Campus Housing as a Residence Ambassador in first-year. I've then held several student-staff positions as a Residence Life Don, Front Desk Assistant and Move-in Coordinator. Through Campus Housing, I've met countless first-year students and strive to help them find their place at UW.
Why I love my program
I love my program because of the diversity of biology classes I can take. The biology program does a great job at setting you up with pre-requisites in first and second-year to allow you more freedom in upper years. I like taking a wide variety of classes from Biostatistics to Biology of Human Aging.
Why University of Waterloo?
I chose UW because of the co-op program. Out of high school, I did not really know what career path to take, so I knew that I needed some sort of work experience before getting my degree. Although I am no longer in the program, it has helped guide my career path and given me invaluable experiences.
