About Me

Hey MacSci! My name is Manya and I'm going into my fourth year of Honours Life Sciences. This is my second year on the MSS exec team and I'm really looking forward to all the events planned for this year (especially formaldehyde!). I'm also excited to work with the rest of the MSS team and getting to know the MacSci community better. I'm almost always on campus and my friends joke that I practically live there; especially on MUSC second floor and in the Hub. Find me watching basketball highlights and always with a coffee in my hand. In the evenings, I'm dragging my friends to Pulse to work out with me and trying new recipes. Some of my other hobbies include painting, reading, and re-watching my favourite TV shows over again. I enjoy meeting new people, so if you ever see me around, don't hesitate to come and say hi!
