Why Western Engineering?

In my opinion, one of the best things about Western Engineering is the community. There is so much support from the entire program and everyone is just looking to help each other. It is also so amazing to see everyone come together at different events quite often. This is one of the main reasons why I chose Western Engineering. I also really value how diverse the community is - everyone can find somewhere they belong.

What do you do in your spare time?

In my spare time I like to discover new foods and try different cafes! I also enjoy spending time outside, so going on walks or hikes and finding new trails in my city.

What was your orientation week experience like as a first year student?

My experiences during orientation week were some of my most memorable moments from university! I met so many other engineering students and learned about all the different opportunities at Western. Like build teams, clubs, co-ops, and so many more. I also felt really included during all the events and felt like that was the first time I found my place within engineering.

Why did you choose your specific stream of engineering?

I am doing a dual-degree with Chemical Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. I chose chemical engineering because I have a passion for working in the environmental industry or for helping large companies reach their climate goals. I also am really interested in programming and how Artificial Intelligence can be used to improve regular manufacturing processes, so I am excited to see where these two degrees can take me and my career!

What is your favourite book, movie or TV show?

My favourite movie is Avengers: Infinity War!

Who do you look up to/admire and why?

I really admire a lot of upper years I have met throughout my first and second year because of how welcoming they were and how much they mentored me in this program. They have all had a significant impact on my life!
