Biography
Hey friends! I’m Christine, I’m in my final year of Electrical Engineering and I’m your MUES President! I love to support teams and create a fun and vibrant environment, and I continue to work to make MUES the best society there is on campus 😉
I’m old… so I’ve got a lot of experiences… some of these are: Being VP Events and President of the ECE Course Union (ECESTORMS), and National Councillor and a National Executive member of the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students. If you were a first year in 2022, I ran your Frosh as 1 of the 7 coordinators! I have also spoken at, hosted, and organized many national and provincial engineering conferences. At the First Year Engineering Office, I started off as a First Year Committee member and soon after became a First Year Ambassador. Within MUES, I was previously the Electrical Director and VP Communications.
