Why I chose Western
My supervisor’s research matched my interests.
My favourite place on campus
Grad Club – I get to enjoy sipping a coffee in a great atmosphere and get some work done!
My favourite place in London
The yoga studio where I work part-time. There are lovely plants all around the studio, I love the yoga practice and enjoy being there among the community.
Highlights from my Western experience
I enjoyed extra-curricular activities a lot, so back in my 1st year when I was the president of HRSGSS, and in the 3rd year when I was elected as the vice president of student services at SOGS, I got to get involved with students a lot and help to improve the student experience across campus.
A fun fact about me
I used to do professional sports shooting (10-meter air pistol).
