Hi! My name is Juanita and I recently graduated from Simon Fraser University with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences! I absolutely adore plants and being in nature and more often than not, when I am out of the city, I always find a hike interesting enough for me to follow it through! I love IDing different species of birds and plants with a naturalist app and I also keep a collection of fall leaves that becomes very active from August to November. My home is in India as well as Ghana so it is a big change from Vancouver but I love all these places just the same. While at SFU, I was a peer educator where I assisted fellow peers in topics that needed more time and practice with and I was also a student advisor where I would discuss course planning with fellow students and assist them with any academic and major-related queries they may have. I am really looking forward to meeting you all and I am sure we will have so much to learn from each other!
