BA (Vind), in progress
Pronouns: they/them, she/her
I am a fifth-year student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with a Combined Honours in gender & women’s studies and history, as well as a Certificate in Art History and Visual Culture. I am from just outside of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and moved to Halifax when I started my degree.
I wear many figurative hats at King’s. I am a Peer Academic Advisor, a student and a Student Ambassador. While completing my studies, I wanted to share my experiences as a King’s student with new and incoming students, leading to my combination of roles on campus. I am always excited to lend a helping hand to our students as they start their studies and become integrated into our community.
As a Peer Academic Advisor, I channel my academic experiences into helping first-, second-, and third-year students plan their degree and navigate the academic challenges that come with the transition to university. I make it my goal to help ease the anxieties of students by helping plan and structure their programs to get the most out of their time here. I can help with course selection and registration, navigating degree options and pathways, and I offer support with academic processes.
Tip for Success: Take time for yourself! While university can often be incredibly demanding, do your best to set aside time to do something that makes you feel happiest. Go visit the ducks at the Public Gardens or binge a TV series! Academics are important, but your mental health and wellbeing are as well!
Hobbies: Watching hockey and writing about the Toronto Maple Leafs for the hockey news site I helped found, drinking Tart & Soul brown sugar lattes with friends, and listening to Chappell Roan’s entire discography on repeat.
How I Identify: white, queer, genderqueer, settler, sister, daughter, hockey lover and friend.
