Mara

Year and program: Third year, English honours and Psychology major

Where is home for you? Calgary, AB

What three adjectives best describe you?

Hardworking, creative, and compassionate

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?

I’m on the executive team of the AMS book club, and an events volunteer for ROOM publishing!

What is your best study strategy/tip?

Repetition! Starting studying in advance to be able to go through important material multiple times helps us remember them. And, sometimes, this means when I don’t have enough time to cycle through all the material, it’s important to learn to prioritize.

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

I would join more clubs to meet more people and enjoy UBC for more than just the academics. Take advantage of all the opportunities we have here, and enjoy it!
