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.

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! 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’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.

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.
