Meet Alex Tran, a 22-year-old psychology major at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a close-knit family that often emphasized tradition and duty, Alex has grappled with the pressure to conform to their parents’ expectations. After a transformative experience during a co-op placement at a mental health support center, Alex has become an advocate for self-fulfillment and authenticity. Passionate about helping others navigate their own familial dynamics, they often use online platforms to encourage individuals to break free from societal norms and pursue their true passions.
