Hi everyone, my name is Marielle Morris and I hope to be the First Year Representative for this school year. For my undergraduate degree, I studied Biomedical Sciences at the University of Guelph. During my undergrad, I participated in some extracurricular activities including soccer intramurals and serving on the executive councils of both Hillel Guelph and Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women. All of these activities helped me develop great interpersonal, communication, listening, and teamwork skills. I hope to be an advocate for all of the first years in order to ensure that we all have an amazing time in the Nursing program. I am a fun-loving, approachable, and dependable individual. I will be happy to relay information to the appropriate individuals on NUS regarding questions and concerns you might have, as well as ideas for social events. I love meeting new people and feel that it is important to provide an open space for everyone to share their thoughts and be heard. In addition to this, I will be sure to keep you all informed regarding social events, general NUS announcements, and any other important information. I look forward to getting to know you all and working alongside you over the next two years and I hope to positively impact your time in the Nursing program.
