Duties: Our voice to the second years, informing second years about upcoming BioPsych Society events and activities, announcing events and stuff in classes, helping to organize events
Why BioPsych: have always loved Psychology, but in high school I really enjoyed Gr.12 Bio and was having a hard time deciding between the two so BioPsych was the obvious choice. The program is great because the double major gives you a lot of choices after graduation. It was part of the reason I chose to come to Mac after high school.
Favourite classesI loved intro psych and even Bio 1A03. Bio 2C03 (Geneticis) is really interesting and I can't wait to take some of the other psych courses offered.
Favourite Foods:Ice cream
