Meet Jia, a 19-year-old engineering student at the University of Waterloo originally from Singapore. Growing up in a family of math enthusiasts, she immersed herself in competitive math from a young age, honing her skills and pushing her boundaries. Despite being a solid competitor back home, she found the academic environment at Waterloo refreshingly challenging yet accessible, particularly enjoying the emphasis on practical application of mathematics. Passionate about sharing her knowledge, she often advises prospective students on how to navigate their courses, always promoting the value of advanced math classes ahead of time. In her free time, Jia loves exploring Canadian nature and has a keen interest in environmental sustainability.
