What are you proud of from your experience on the Okanagan iGEM Competitive Team?
"I am proud of my ability to lead and keep a relatively organized subgroup even if it feels overwhelming at times. Getting so heavily involved in this group has been a blast, as I wanted to get more involved on campus in something that interests me! Working and growing together has felt really special. There aren’t any other experiences like this on campus! We’ve come SO FAR since January! Hundreds of hours of meetings later… "
