Why did you join GRS?
I joined GRS because I was already in the LFS faculty and was studying Food, Nutrition, and Health. I love nutrition and realized that I wanted to focus on the agriculture and sustainability side.
Do you have a favourite course you’ve taken at UBC?
Over this past summer, I took GEOG 310 with Alec Blair. This course studies environment and sustainability and the roles that humans play in our world. It is a must with Dr. Blair!
If you could do anything (with unlimited funds) what would you do?
There is so much I would dream of doing if I had a surplus of money to fund my desires. Namely, I would travel. I know that traveling can be done on a budget, but I find it hard to save for trips as a student and work only once or twice a week. Having unlimited funds would allow me not to worry about debt or loans. internationally I could help people along the way and donate to organizations I’m passionate about. With unlimited money I would make sure not to stay at the fanciest hotels, instead, I would wish to gain memories and experience authentic local treasures, trying my best to meet host families who live in the region.
Are you particularly proud of a time you were part of a community engagement initiative at UBC?
The NutriKids UBC initiative has allowed me to find a community at UBC and connect with elementary students. Educating children about nutrition has been enriching and a fun way to get involved.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I seem to have a weird amount of knowledge revolving around the ’60-’70s era, especially in regard to music. In my free time, I really enjoy researching singers and bands; I love to do this by watching documentaries and listening to podcasts. My mom and dad also seem to know a lot, so I like to learn from them!
