What three adjectives best describe you?

Compassionate, intuitive, reliable.

What are some activities you engage in to de-stress?

I enjoy being active so anything that gets my heart rate up is my go-to stress reliever. Listening to music, meditating, and snacking (unfortunately) are also ways I cope with stress!

Where is your favourite place to study on campus?

I love the Leon and Thea Koerner building, although it’s a bit of a walk, it’s definitely worth it. The Qualicum reading room in IKB is also a great place to study (and take a nap).

What is your favourite KIN course and why?

I know it’s the beginning of the year, but I’m really enjoying 230, Human Motor Behaviour, at the moment. I come out of every class feeling like I’ve learned material that interests me a lot.

What do you wish you had known in first year?

I wish I knew what study strategies worked best for me because I definitely could have been more productive with the time I spent “studying”. I would put hours into making a quizlet when in reality, I wasn’t absorbing any of the material.
