Meet Alex, a second-year Environment student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for animal welfare and a knack for creative problem-solving. Growing up in a bustling household filled with various pets, including a mischievous hamster aptly named Mr. Nibbles, Alex has always had a soft spot for critters. Balancing late-night study sessions and group projects, they often find themselves involving their friends in quirky pet adventures that lead to mishaps and memorable stories, like the one involving Mr. Nibbles' latest escapade. When not studying environmental science, Alex can be found volunteering at local animal shelters or discussing innovative ways to create humane living spaces for pets on campus.
