I look forward to helping the first years make their transition to University easier by supporting them with all the resources BioSA has to offer!

Favourite Quote: If you ever need a helping hand, there's one at the end of your arm

Advice to First Years:
These are the years that you've always put off till. Saying that you're gonna go hard in Uni is one thing and doing it is another. You're going to get bad marks, you're going to study and still get bad marks, you're going to see TA's rip your essays apart (figuratively speaking...in most cases), just don't quit. Have a plan and follow through; it's very important to follow through. Make friends with your TAs. They do most of your marking! Go to them for help and especially, go to all the help sessions that you can. You're paying for your education now so make the most of the resources available! -- Steve Joordens is the coolest prof I've had so far.
