"I grew up here, and always knew I'd end up at UPEI."
What brought you to UPEI? Which program(s) did you take?
I was born in Cairo, Egypt and I moved to PEI when I was nine—so that’s my birthplace, and I would call it my home too—but so is Charlottetown! I grew up here, and always knew I'd end up at UPEI. More so probably when my mom started her Masters at the Atlantic Veterinary College in 2014 and went on to do her PhD at the AVC.
