When I’m not studying, I love gardening, hitting the gym, and spending time with friends. I’m also always excited to try new activities and adventures!

One of my all-time favourite books is In the Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen. It’s deeply inspiring and thought-provoking. If you’re interested, let me know and I’d be happy to give you a copy.

Q: What is your favourite spot on campus?

Walking Through the Back 40. I really enjoy walking through the Back 40. It’s a great way to clear my mind and enjoy some peaceful time outdoors. It’s like a little escape and there's always new things to find.
