"I see myself as someone who likes to design, build or fix things (as most engineering students do), but I also enjoy a wide variety of activities, from mountain biking to ice climbing. Like many of my fellow Geological Engineering students, I am passionate about sustainable development and solving problems that achieve this goal. A typical day for me combines school work and classes, but also other activities through the GeoRox club like sports, socializing and going on fields trips. Through the club, 2nd year students get the chance to hang out and work with upper year Geological Engineering students. At the end of the day, there's always room for a game of ping pong as a reward for a hard day's work. I love the sense of community created within the program by involved peers, faculty, and industry mentors."
