What brought you to ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ? Why did you choose to study here?

I was born in Medellin, Colombia but moved to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island when I was 6 years old. Even though I have lived here most of my life, I still consider my Colombian roots very important as they have shaped who I am as a person. I am also extremely thankful for the opportunities Canada has given to me: a good education and job opportunities.
