Hi everyone, my name is Cedrick and I did my undergrad studies at the University of Alberta, specializing in immunology and infection. I definitely miss going hiking on the weekends and enjoying nature in my spare time, but in Waterloo my spare time is usually spent looking at pug memes & crying, making study schedules instead of studying, at AYCE, or regretfully at the gym – (I like to tell people that I go to the gym in hopes that it will motivate me to go regularly… but it hasn’t worked yet). I’m passionate about advocating for the future of optometry and how we can make a larger impact in our communities, so I’m often running around with CAOS events as well. Nevertheless, I’m so excited to meet you all and welcome you to the optom family! One interesting fact about myself is that I eat kiwis with the skin on, mostly because I find it more efficient – don’t judge me on this because I will fight you. My favourite O-week event would have to be the big sib BBQ and bar crawl (from what I can remember anyways).
