She enjoys daytime television, folk music, and procrastination.

Representatives

Undergraduate 3rd Year - Ali Tremblay
Ali is jumping into her third year of a Bachelor of Computing with a Minor in Studio Art. When a person can juggle and make balloon animals, it is safe to extrapolate that some time in her life is well spent. But when Ali should be coding she prefers to read fantasy and sci fi novels or play video games with a phone glued to her ear.
