Meet Alex, a third-year Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo. After experiencing the pressures of academic life and the social anxieties that come with job hunting, Alex has learned the importance of community support and meaningful connections. Eager to break into the environmental consultancy field, they've just created a LinkedIn profile and are ready to reach out to potential mentors and peers, grateful for anyone who offers sincere advice rather than scorn. With a heart full of appreciation, Alex believes in the power of positivity and collaboration to bridge the gap between education and employment.
