My favourite part of attending Trent Durham was the fabulous people that I met and worked with; because of the smaller campus and class sizes, I was able to develop a relationship with many of my professors rather than being just a face in a
 sea of students. I had the opportunity to be a 
peer mentor, which allowed me to share my experience with other students and provide
 study tips and suggestions that I found helpful 
in my academic experience. In a huge way, it was my experience acting as an academic peer mentor, as well as many of my favourite psychology courses, that led me to a career in teaching.

In 2011, I graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and continued to pursue my dream of teaching by attending the Bachelor of Education program
at UOIT. Four years later, I’ve achieved my goal and have my dream job teaching Grade 1 French immersion in Whitby.

I fondly look back at my experience at Trent as four of the best years of my life. I learned so much about who I was, what I was capable of, and who I wanted to be. It is in many ways thanks to the support of my professors, academic advisors, friends, family, and my experience at Trent that I am where I am today.
