Some people are natural born leaders who constantly give back to their community. Meet Nikol Grishin (BKin ’20). Nikol served as the KUS president last year, and upon graduation she has stepped up yet again as the co-lead of the Young Alumni cohort with fellow alum, Yingying Zhao.
Nikol’s interest in research has led her to begin her MSc studies at UBC with professor Bill Sheel. She hopes to continue her academic pursuits and is aiming to do a PhD.
Nikol states, “I wanted to give back to the Kin community, that gave me so much while I was in my undergrad. I recognize that a lot of undergrads seek advice and knowledge from alumni, especially those who have recently graduated. Thus, being able to connect the two and assist with something like the Career Crossroads podcast series really drove me to take this position on.My goals for the alumni are to create connections between one another through traditional and new events and also to create interaction between alumni and undergrads. I think that there is much knowledge and experience to be shared, and being able to connect with one another is really key in doing that!”
