Why did you choose the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation for your undergraduate degree?

I choose this program because the human body interested me and I have always liked to be a helping hand and make people feel better.

What has been your favourite course so far and why?

Either Human Anatomy as that introduced me to all the bones, muscles, etc. and Sports Injury Management due to my curiosity of wanting to know how to identify injuries and help heal

What advice do you have for new undergraduate students?

Enjoy being in the faculty, take advantage of everything they offer of events like the camp trip which is awesome even the little sleep you get in the weekend, study hard, and before you know it you'll be in your last year with so much knowledge wondering what happened to the last 4 years

What do you like to do for fun or relaxation?

An avid video gamer, but definitely know the importance of physical activity - play hockey and like to get out and hike, bike, kayak, and ski in the mountains

 

Why did you want to choose the photos above?

A selfie I took in my first year of kinesiology when I was accepted at RDC, just a reminder of the past and how you definitely change in a few years (look so different now), skiing photo was me after a massive wipeout off the backside of the eagle chair in jasper in tons of powder.
