About Julie M.
Hi, I’m Julie! I am in my 3rd year of health science with a concentration in health throughout the lifespan. This is my third year with the SSSC, and this year I will be returning as a Peer Mentor as well as a First-Year Rep Team Lead. Outside of my studies, I love listening to music and piano playing.
One piece of advice I would offer to first year students is to challenge yourself to participate in new experiences. University allows for a great opportunity to discover different activities that you love and gives everyone an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone. This also allows you to make many more friendships along the way and learn new things about yourself. I also would say to make sure to still prioritize your mental health with the stress that comes with transitioning to university and make sure you are still putting aside some ‘you’ time.
During my first year at Carleton, I was a First-Year Rep for the SSSC. Within my second year at Carleton, I became a Peer Mentor and First-Year Rep Team Lead through the SSSC as well as an Executive Assistant within Carleton Scisoc. All these roles have been very beneficial to me and have helped me gain a sense of community here at Carleton as well as given me a chance to gain fundamental skills.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out. I would love to chat and get to know all of you! I hope everyone has a great school year!
