Tips and Advice from Kris

What three adjectives best describe you?

Approachable, Enthusiastic, Driven

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

Koerner Library, specifically the upper floors! The floor-to-ceiling windows are the perfect vibe to accompany any study session — observe the nature, weather, or people as a study break!

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

Making time for movement! Whether that’s going for a quick walk or a spin class, I find that intentional movement always keeps me grounded.

What is your best study strategy/technique?

Creating summary sheets and doing practice problems! Summary sheets help make the seemingly endless amount of content more manageable and serve as an excellent resource for reviewing. Don’t forget to do practice problems though, they’re great for simulating a testing environment!

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

Make time for more fun! Academics are important, but so is the first year experience! Put yourself out there—try new things and say yes to new experiences, you never know what will happen! The memories and friendships you make will take you far beyond your time at UBC.
