The Ambassador Team

Hey! You finally found me! Your doppelgänger! My name is Alex and my pronouns are he/him. I'm currently a 3rd year general PNB student and an aspiring academic weapon. In my free time I enjoy film photography and thinking thoughts. I'm most excited for the great PNB events that are upcoming and getting to meet you! Yes, YOU specifically! If you see me in classes or on campus, please approach me with a smile and a nod!

Hi everyone! My name is Ellen (she/her) and I'm in general PNB Level II. I'm so excited to be a part of the Ambassador team this year! I really enjoy cooking and baking because I love eating and sharing what I make. I love being outside and I have a huge collection of plants that I'm overly passionate about. I also enjoy playing ukulele, but I have definitely not mastered it yet! I chose PNB because I've always been interested in human behaviour and cognition. I love that I can observe the things I'm learning in myself and people all around me. I like solving the mystery of our brains and I’m excited about the way knowledge on the brain can be applied to help other people. This year I'm most looking forward to meeting people in my program and connecting PNB students to each other. I can't wait to meet you all!

Hey everyone! My name is Aaron (he/him) and I am beyond excited to be joining the ambassador team! I am a second year PNB student in the Mental Health Specialization. PNB stood out to me early on during the first year selection process because of my deep interest for better understanding human psychology, as well as, my desire to pursue a career in mental health. To disclose a bit about myself: I usually spend my free time socializing with friends, running, or reading. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing different perspectives to broaden the blandness of my own personal narrative. This school year, I look forward to continue meeting new people and the ongoing opportunities to connect with fellow PNB students. As an ambassador, I want to help fellow second-year PNB students get to know each other better and hopefully make long-term friends through welcoming social events. My experience in PNB so far has been truly exceptional and I can't wait to see what else is still in store!

Hi everyone! My name is Mohid (he/him) and I’m currently in my second year in the general PNB program. I will be one of the Ambassadors this year and am looking forward to helping put together a bunch of fun events! I chose PNB due to how diverse psychology as a field is and its interconnectedness to other sciences. The community that surrounds PNB is also extremely welcoming and tight-knit, creating a really balanced environment. Be sure to stay tuned for all the events and if you have any questions at all don’t hesitate to reach out to the PNB society!

Hey PNBesties, my name is Helen, my pronouns are she/they and I am in my 3rd year of Biology & PNB. I love playing the guitar, exploring nice food that won't upset my poor stomach, and cooking with my roommates, as you can tell from my headshot! What I love the most about being in BioPNB is that the biological/biochemical knowledges intertwine with neuroscience, behavioural, cognitive science, bringing me a whole new perspective of approaching new topics and problems. Moreover, all 3 of the second year PNB core courses provide foundational knowledge with assignments that really sharpens our academic skills such as researching, scientific writing, and critical thinking. Most importantly, the people! I am so grateful for all the support my PNBesties, mentors, TAs/NCs and professors offered! In this year, I look forward to working with the amazing team at the PNB society! I hope to listen to the needs and suggestions from PNBesties, so we can organize better events and resources to support y'all throughout the journey in PNB!

Hi everyone! My name is Tara (she/her) I am currently in my second year of Biology & PNB and I am super excited to be a part of the ambassador team this year! I love being a part of PNB because of all of the amazing research opportunities and how integrative the program is allowing me to bring together my love for both science and psychology. I also love how kind everyone in the program is and how we all share the same passion for learning about the brain! Some of my favourite things to do in my free time are read, workout, and travel at any chance I get. I am really looking forward to getting to meet more people in the program and make great connections through all of the events this year!
