Meet Alex, a laid-back high school graduate who always had a passion for exploring the natural world. With a solid foundation in science and a penchant for hands-on experiments, Alex applied to the University of Waterloo with a low 80s average, believing that their curiosity and determination would carry them through. Now a first-year Science student, they're enjoying the flexibility of their program while cheerfully advising others on the admissions process, aware of the extra hurdles that aspiring engineers and computer scientists face. Alex dreams of becoming a science communicator, helping to make complex concepts accessible to everyone.
