What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
I'm originally from Port Perry, Ontario, which is on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. I grew up spending my summers on the Island, and have always considered PEI to be my “happy place”. A family member got me a UPEI sweater for Christmas when I was a kid (circa 2012–I still have it!) and that’s what got me thinking about going to UPEI. Plus, I think it's pretty unique to be able to study Political Science in the “Birthplace of Confederation”!
