Why did you join GRS?
I joined GRS because I like how I can shape my degree into how I best see fit to make the changes that I want to make in my future career as a food system professional.
Do you have a favorite course you’ve taken at UBC?
My favorite course at UBC has been LFS 250 because it opened my eyes to what a sustainable food system can look like, and ultimately led me to find GRS so that I can focus my learning on this.
If you could do anything (with unlimited funds) what would you do?
My dream is to open a café that promotes food security and food sovereignty and reduces food waste through suppliers and other various initiatives, such as subsidized meals.
What do you like best about the GRS program?
I like that I can choose courses that I am genuinely interested in and that I know will benefit me in my future career, rather than just taking courses for the sake of meeting requirements. It enables me to think about what kind of work I want to do in the future and helps me build my career.
Are you particularly proud of a time you were part of a community engagement initiative at UBC?
I have been involved at Sprouts Cafe which was a great experience being able to provide low-cost (and sometimes free) meals to the UBC community.
