Hi! My name is Christy and I’m in my 5th year in the Interdisciplinary stream, minoring in Psychology. I never really expected to end up in Kinesiology – I actually spent most of my childhood and early teens wanting to become a vet. But after 2 concussions from hockey and a lot of health issues, I found myself wanting to explore ways to somehow be a part of other people’s health journeys. It’s hard to imagine doing anything other than KIN at this point, but one of the things I appreciate the most about being in this program is that there is so much room to explore different paths! From choosing a minor that I love, to getting involved in programs like the Interprofessional Health Mentors Program and clubs like Sisu of UBC, I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to build my own meaningful undergrad experience. If I had to give any advice it would definitely be to give yourself the time to build your student years in your own way. Be open to new things, even if they are uncomfortable. And most importantly, be patient and kind to yourself!
