"I thought I had to go into a STEM field to be successful, and this pushed me into science. I realized I wasn’t happy in that space. I took a lot of elective courses in humanities, and social science and went into that field. I’m very happy I did that. It worked out well and I found there are a lot of career opportunities from a social science degree."

If there is one thing I wish someone had told me as a student, it is this: don't be afraid to try something new. The opportunities that shape your future are often the ones you never planned for. I never imagined that my time at Western would lead to a career in teaching, research, forensic anthropology, and even television consultancy, but the confidence, skills, and curiosity I developed there made it all possible.
