Hi everyone! My name is Max, and I am currently in my second year of Honours Biochemistry. I am incredibly excited to be one of your VP Socials for this year! As one of your VP socials, I want to deliver a fun, out-of-class environment to foster a community with my fellow biochemers. I know all of us might be struggling with the upcoming orgo midterm, but rest assured, once that is over, we have a lot of fun events planned to look forward to. I cannot wait to meet you all, and please feel free to message about events you want run this year! In my free time, I enjoy watching and playing sports, hanging out with my friends, and listening to music.

Hey everyone! My name is Myra and I'm in my third year of Core Biochemistry. I am so excited to be working with Maurice as one of your VP Internals for the 2024-2025 school year! I'll be handling much of the organizational and background work to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch. When I am not studying or engaging in some sort of extracurricular activity, you can find me chilling with my friends, cooking, catching up on shows or sleeping (my favourite activity). I may or may not have a coffee addiction, and I have an adorable dog (my brother really) named Mylo. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and making this year a fantastic one together :)

Hey everyone! My name is Milena, and I am starting my second year of Biochem Core. This year I will be working on the BBSS as one of your VP Fundraisings! The others and I have so many fundraisers ahead for you to look forward to and be apart of (trust that you are in good hands). We have a Bake Sale coming up, and other events that I shouldn't spoil, to raise money for charity and awareness to those that need it most. I hope you all find a place where you feel you belong in the BBSS community, and have fun this year. Come out and get involved or a sweet treat! A little about me is that I love playing Jackbox with my friends and listening to music (Partynextdoor, Travis Scott, The Weekend, Childish Gambino). I also enjoy playing games like Geogussr and The Walking Dead. You can find me on my grind at the HSL or Mills Learning Commons. If you ever have an idea in mind or want to talk feel free to reach out!

Hi everyone! My name is Serene and I am a second year Biochemistry student. I am so excited to be part of the BBSS team as a Creative Ambassador and to create pretty and unique graphics to relay information to all of you! 💟💟 Fun fact: I was homeschooled until the beginning of Grade 9 and I was taught science by my dad. In my free time, you can find me lounging on the couch and playing guitar with my guava juice, soy milk, or matcha latte (although I need to restock) in a mason jar next to me.
