Turning Over a New Leaf | Alternative Grad School Options for LFS Grads

In this episode, guest host Leonard Zheng joins Allison to interview two LFS alumni that have each pursued graduate school. Manveen Kaur completed her B.Sc. in Applied Animal Biology at LFS thinking she would become a doctor or veterinarian. After falling in love with research in 3rd year, she decided to complete her undergraduate thesis and then continue on to complete an APBI Masters. Even though she thought she would go on to complete a PhD and continue with research, she now works with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as a Multi-Program Inspector. Ann Yang completed her B.Sc. in Food, Nutrition and Health at LFS. After graduating, she went on to work in the non-profit sector, where she observed systemic issues that she felt unable to resolve. This workplace experience led her to pursue her Master's of Public Health at UBC, which she is currently working on. By pursuing the MPH, Ann intends to learn how to become a catalyst for change. Both Anna and Manveen give generously of their time to the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ubc-lfs-young-alumni-council/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">LFS Young Alumni Council</a>.
