"One great experience that I’ve had in the last couple years is attending Physics conferences that I’ve heard about through the department. I’ve gone to the Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference where I was able to give a presentation on my summer research and that was a really exciting and fun experience to meet other undergraduate physicists and talk about what we’ve been doing."
