“When I started at the U of A, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I came in curious about science and biology, but it wasn’t until I discovered psychology that my path shifted. Through the Community Service Learning (CSL) program, I got to go outside the classroom and into the community, volunteering with Lady Flower Gardens, Volunteer Alberta, the Campus Food Bank and many others. I saw how people come together to serve and sustain each other, and how change is built from within the community itself. I also had the opportunity to learn from Indigenous Elders in one of my CSL classes, which reshaped my understanding of what learning can be. Now, as I pursue my Master’s in Counsellor Psychology, I can see how every step from uncertainty to clarity has shaped not just my career path but the story I am crafting for my life. It is a reminder that each journey is unique, and every experience has a role in preparing us for the work we are meant to do.”

Faith is a recent Psychology graduate from Ondo State, Nigeria. She volunteered with the Black Students’ Association, the Partnership for Research with African Newcomers and the Pan African Collaboration for Excellence. Outside of university, she runs her own photography business. 📷 #UAlberta
