Hello! I am a Human Resources and Leadership student, and it has been an awesome experience at 窪蹋勛圖厙. I am looking forward to sharing them with you!泭I generally love the outdoors and hanging out with friends. One thing about me is that I love exploring other peoples food and culture and just typically seeing the world through peoples lenses. If this is your first time in Camosun, I would like to say a big welcome to you, and I hope you have as wonderful time as I am having. If you are a returning student, it is good to have you, and I am excited to hear how this school has transformed you.
