Things To Know About Me
I have been living in the South Village Residence at Ontario Tech University for over a year, during which I have become friends with some of the active employees. Having benefited from a smooth transition into residence life, I am eager to join the team to provide that same high level of support to incoming students. I am committed to ensuring that new residents get to settle down as quickly as possible and deal more effectively with the challenges of adjusting to school life. I have really enjoyed my time staying in residence and would love to contribute more if given the opportunity. I enjoy creating and exploring different forms of art, spending time with friends and family, and meeting new people. In my free time, I enjoy skateboarding, playing basketball, reading comics, and delving into stories with rich lore. I also have a growing interest in fashion. I enjoy experimenting with new styles, discovering unique pieces, and expressing myself through my wardrobe.
