School Thoughts


The journey of my PhD is being made with 4 other women. Starting from left are:
Catherine (from Edmonton), Ahna ( from the Kootney area), Jolly (from Uganda), Me, and Cole (from Fernie).
We survived the first semester together and it was a process of growing into each other.
Following the Christmas holidays we have become a much stronger team in learning. As we plough through a course in statistics we have learned to depend on each other's strengths and realize that we function better as a collective of minds. This has made each class that much more enjoyable and profitable.
When April arrives we will finish our residency and some of us will head out to different areas of the world to continue pursuing our research. Though I look forward to returning to the opportunities in China I will miss the environment of school.
