Grant is graduating with a BKin, in the health sciences stream and will start his MKin at UBC in the fall. After he completes his Masters, Grant wishes to pursue a career in medicine. “I hope to specialize as a general practitioner to empower individuals through proactive medical support and intervention.”
Throughout his undergraduate degree, Grant spearheaded a new initiative in the KUS called “Campus KINnections” which pairs upper year students with first year and transfer students in Kinesiology in a year-long partnership. “I also worked as a research assistant in the Indigenous Studies in Kinesiology lab and was a member of the KUS BIPOC committee.”
Outside of Kinesiology, Grant has competed nationally as a water polo athlete, participated as a member of UBC’s University Singers, worked as a Residence Advisor for the past three years, presented a workshop on redefining leadership in the Student Leadership Conference, and was VP Campus Engagement for the Student Alumni Council.
One of Grant’s favourite events in KIN has always been the ‘Dinner for Kinners.’ “I prepare a whole day in advance just to eat as much as possible! My favourite study place on campus is the education library because it is so silent, but actually because it is dangerously close to Tim Hortons.”
“I am incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful opportunities I have had at UBC and the amazing people I have met along the way. UBC truly is a place where if you have an interest or an idea, there are people here that will support you, guide you, and celebrate with you.”
