Meet Alex Chen, a 22-year-old Math Studies student at the University of Waterloo who initially pursued Combinatorics and Optimization but faced some hurdles with CS 246 and a few other courses. Alex has always had a passion for problem-solving but realized that a traditional math-focused career wasn't the right fit. Determined not to waste the time already invested, Alex pivoted to gain practical experience through business co-ops, discovering a newfound interest in product management. With a laid-back personality and a knack for connecting with others, Alex is now on a mission to help fellow students navigate their academic journeys while emphasizing the importance of experience over conventional paths to success.
