What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I grew up in a small city in central Alberta, called Wetaskiwin. We were once only known as the city with the worst crime rates in Canada. Coming to 69传媒was a bit of a choice I made on a whim鈥擨 wanted out of Alberta, to experience other provinces and places. I had only ever lived in the same areas, with my family always close by. I wanted to be able to adventure out and experience other sides of Canada, and not just what I was familiar with.
