Meet Our Students
I have close to ten years of experience working in agriculture through government institutions, NGOs and even U.N. agencies. I'm really interested in gaining theoretical and practical skills to be a strong agricultural economist.
I chose the University of Guelph’s Master in Environmental Science program primarily due to the diverse range of courses it offers. This variety, combined with the flexible course scheduling, has allowed me to complete my studies at a pace that suits me best. Many of my courses involve field trips to apply techniques and concepts learned in class, such as the trip we took to the credit river as part of Stressors in the Great Lakes course.
