Favourite Quote: Make your future self proud." When I have something tough ahead, I try to imagine how it will feel when I accomplish it (I learnt recently that this is called motivation-specific imagery in Psych 2990! It's effective!). You came so far already and there have been times in the past where you thought it was difficult to be where you are right now. But you're here and that's amazing! Now, what if you accomplish the next big thing? University is tough, but so are you. 

I look forward to helping you with helping you achieve your goals and grow! Course-specific help: Biology 1201/1202; Chem 1301/1302; Statistics 1024; and Physiology 2130.
