What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I am originally from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. When I was young, my family went on a camping trip to the Maritimes. We drove all around New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. We all very much enjoyed the environment, the friendly people, and the lifestyle. When applying to universities in secondary school, I wanted to be at a university that had a veterinary college, as that was my goal—to become a veterinarian.
