I come from Montreal in Quebec, Canada, I am 25 years old, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry. I’ve come to study in London primarily to get out of my comfort zone and actively pursue new life experiences.
The main reason that I am interested in becoming a course rep is to be involved in the wellness of the student body and to participate in the improvement of the communication between the college and the students. I think I would make an ideal course rep due to my previous leadership experience as one of three team leaders of a group of 12 undergraduate students for a summer research project. Through this role I acted as a liaison between the undergraduate students and the graduate students who were overseeing the project. It was overall an effective training experience in leadership and communication skills which I believe I can bring to the table as a course representative.
