What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
I grew up in Richmond, PEI in the Région Évangéline, and have lived on the Island my whole life. I was attracted to UPEI by its sociology program and my love for the Island. Having done my first year at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax majoring in criminology, I decided to transfer back home because Halifax wasn’t for me. I missed the island and its small community.
