Meet Alex Chen, a third-year Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a small town surrounded by nature, Alex developed a love for the outdoors and a passion for sustainability from a young age. In addition to their studies, Alex is an avid hiker and volunteers with local conservation groups, always eager to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of the environment. Their enthusiasm for both science and community engagement makes them a regular contributor to discussions about environmental issues on campus and beyond.
