Empathetic, reliable, conscientious
What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?
Imagine and JumpStart leader, RA at the Social Health Lab, Teaching Assistant, Teacher at an NGO and Behavioural Interventionist
What is your best study strategy/tip?
Start early! I cannot emphasize this enough. The semester goes by so quickly, and staying on top of things from the beginning makes such a difference. Even a little bit each day goes a long way!
If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?
I would put myself out there more and get involved earlier. I really started doing that in my second year, and it led to some of my best experiences at UBC. Looking back, I wish I had stepped outside my comfort zone and explored more opportunities during my first year too.
