Meet Jamie, a meticulous health sciences student at the University of Waterloo, who prides themself on hygiene and wellbeing. They grew up in a family of healthcare professionals and learned early on the importance of cleanliness. Jamie often finds themselves giving unsolicited advice to friends, fueled by their passion for public health, and can’t help but cringe at the sight of unkempt nails. Their friends tease them about their “Germaphobe” persona, but Jamie wears it as a badge of honor while navigating campus life.
