Hello, my name is Wonu! I live outside of Edmonton and this is my 2nd year of Biochemistry. Although school life gets busy, I love the challenge of learning new topics and problem-solving. One of my favourite pastimes is reading - particularly historical fiction and science non-fiction. If I'm not lost in a good book, I like to test out recipes in the kitchen or watercolour paint when I find the time. I look forward to sharing my 1st-year experience with you all as I support you in your academics!
