Meet Alex Chen, a 3rd-year Environmental Studies student passionate about sustainable urban design. Growing up in a small town, Alex was often frustrated by the lack of green spaces and innovative infrastructure. After discovering the University of Waterloo's emphasis on experiential learning, they dove headfirst into co-op opportunities, landing a position with a city planning firm that focuses on creating eco-friendly public spaces. When not studying or working, Alex enjoys exploring local parks and advocating for sustainable practices in their community.
