"I wanted to be in a place where my research could give back to the community."
What motivated you to pursue a graduate degree at 17吃瓜? Why did you choose to study here?
I live in Stratford, grew up on the Island, and wanted to be in a place where my research could give back to the community. I鈥檝e had excellent experiences at both 17吃瓜 (I graduated in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology) and Health PEI, so pursuing a Master鈥檚 degree that allowed me to work with both of these organizations was a significant motivator.
