Year and program: Fourth-year, Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies (AMNE) major and a minor in History
Where is home for you? Ottawa, Ontario
What three adjectives best describe you?
Witty, considerate, sincere
What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?
I am one of this year’s Editors-In-Chief for the UBC Journal of Historical Studies, and I was an editor for them previously. I am also a member of the AMNE department’s Experiencing Antiquity project.
What is your best study strategy/tip?
Organize your schedule and dates + deadlines into a calendar, list, chart, or any method that works best for you. Being able to keep track of your tasks and commitments helps to better stay on top of them, and you can allocate your time accordingly.
If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?
I would have better planned out my degree! I would have given more thought to scholastic pathways, my (prospective) major requirements, and minors. I wish I could have created multiple plans of attack to make the most out of my time here, and I wish I had had an older friend tell me to do these things. First year is for exploring, having fun, and figuring yourself out, but it doesn’t hurt to have a plan too 🙂 !
