"UPEI and the MAIS program taught me being small is a strength."

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I come from a twin-island state in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago. I grew up in the eastern region of Trinidad, Dabadie. I chose UPEI because I was seeking an affordable, quality education in a place where I wouldn't be a number in a huge lecture hall. The small class sizes really attracted me because they make it easier to connect with professors and classmates.
