IS is truly is the only place at UW where I can pursue my interests. As an IS student, I feel supported and encouraged to explore subjects that push my limits and go beyond the constraints of mainstream academia.I am currently working towards a thesis that will explore the ways that performance arts may be used to de-stigmatize abortion and create opportunities for dialogue around reproductive health in Waterloo Region.

I am thankful for the opportunities available to me through IS that complement the other parts of my life. I am currently serving as President on the Board of Directors at the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG), which is a student-driven organization on our UW campus that works on issues of social and environmental justice. I also work as the Public Educator at the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region.
