Hi! I completed one year of aerospace engineering at a different university before transferring to TMU. A fun fact about me, I am working on my private pilot’s license! At the start of first year, I wish I would have known that it is okay to have some fun with friends and that university isn’t all about studying.

Hey y’all! I’m a huge football fan (it’s football, not soccer!). I’m also the biggest Real Madrid fan you’ll ever meet. I feel like with TMU Eng we have a really supportive community where everyone is willing to help you achieve your goals and that's very rare to find.

Hey everyone! A fun fact about me is that I've recently started playing the ukulele. As a first-year student, attending FYA events helped alleviate any nervousness by introducing me to other students in the same program and listening to their advice.

Hi! One of my favorite things to do on campus is to go to the MAC or RAC to let off some steam in the gym. During my second semester, I learned how to maximize comprehension while minimizing time spent by researching efficient studying methods and learning from online resources

Hey first-years! University isn't as terrifying as it is thought to be. Being an international student, I thought it would be difficult for me to adjust but the orientation week helped me a lot. I am a very friendly person so feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Hi First-Years! One piece of advice from me is do not set unreasonable goals and sign up for too many tasks/courses/activities/groups just because you see others doing the same! Take things at your own pace.

Hi! Joining clubs/design teams makes you feel like you're REALLY in engineering. At the start of my first year, I'd wish I'd known how to manage my time better. I wish I'd used Google Cal earlier in my first year since it's a great way to manage your time.

Hi! When I'm not bouncing between campus buildings, you can catch me at the gym, the badminton court or spinning some tracks at the pub. I lived on campus in my first year which gave me a good experience of living and interacting with students of different programs and backgrounds.

Hi! Looking back I realize time management is just as important, if not more important than anything else in university. It's one of those things that everyone hears but doesn't take as seriously as it should be taken. Outside of school, I love everything music, I play 4 instruments.

Hi! I enjoy playing and watching sports as well as watching movies. When I'm not cramming for exams, I'm usually out with my friends at the most random of times doing the most random of things. I spend most of my free time sleeping but I do want to eventually start exploring the city of Toronto.

Hi there, I just finished my first year of engineering and to be honest it was a rollercoaster with ups and downs, but I made it through. Looking back now, I wish I had joined more clubs at the beginning of the year. I feel as if it would have been a great way to gain experience and make connections with others.

Hey first years! A few activities that made me feel part of TMU was attending different events and study halls for exams. One thing I love about TMU engineering is the people I’m surrounded with and the friends I was able to make throughout first year. I enjoy baking, doing nails, and working out.

Hi! I’m very excited to be your First Year Ambassador and getting to show you TMU. I’m a huge car guy, and I also play soccer. In first year, I had the honour of being selected as an FYC where as a team we planned and hosted events catered to our peers. This experience really got me involved and taught me how to build my network.

Hi there! Something I wish I had known from the very beginning is to embrace new experiences. It's essential to step out of your comfort zone and seize every opportunity that comes your way. At TMU engaging with fellow students who share similar interests creates a supportive environment.
