Meet Jake, a laid-back and humorous fourth-year Chemical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Having faced his fair share of academic hurdles, including a disastrous 38 on his first-year Chemistry midterm, he’s now a seasoned veteran of the co-op experience and knows the ins and outs of navigating the challenging curriculum. With a knack for cracking jokes, he often lightens the mood for his peers and enjoys sharing his experiences to reassure newcomers about the ups and downs of university life. Jake is passionate about chemistry but also values the importance of laughter and community throughout the academic journey.
