CO-BRANCH LEADER

Hi everyone! My name is Agam Deol, and I have the privilege of being a co-branch leader for the WYN this year. A little bit about me, I’m in my second year of biomedical sciences at the University of Ottawa. Some of my hobbies include reading, binging Grey’s Anatomy, and playing volleyball. I’m very excited to be a part of the WYN team, as my role allows me to collaborate with the team to engage and facilitate events for youth in our community. I believe educating young students in interactive ways, such as workshops and presentations, are very beneficial for creating a positive space, which is one of the reasons why I joined this club! I look forward to the promising year ahead with the goal of resonating with the younger generation, and allowing them to feel heard, paving a way for positive change and inspiration in their lives.
