Year and program: Fourth year; major in Political Science
Where is home for you? Vancouver, BC
What three adjectives best describe you?
Optimistic, Adaptable, and Proactive
What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?
I attended the Page Program at the University of Ottawa in my first year of University and worked in the Parliament! I then transferred to UBC for my second year of undergrad. Since transferring to UBC, I have worked as a Senior Residence Advisor, served as an executive on the UBC Film Society, and participated in intramural sports.
What is your best study strategy/tip?
Put all your academic deadlines and exam times in your schedule once they become available. Though it may seem simple, by doing this you can minimize the risk of losing percentage for handing in assignments late, which is a common, but easily fixable mistake!
If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?
I would attend office hours at least once in each class to get to know my professors and teaching assistants better, as well as to get a better understanding of the course material.
