Why I Chose Guelph… 

For Food Science in Canada, Guelph was the only choice! Having completed my undergrad here as well, I was happy to build upon my existing relationships within Food Science. Moreover, I was also very excited to not just witness, but be a part of Guelph’s large agri-food revolution.

About My Advisor… 

Our student-advisor relationship was very relaxed and friendly. My advisor did not expect me to clock in set hours with him so long as I stayed on schedule – there was a mutual understanding that I really appreciated.

About the City of Guelph… 

It is a great size for students who want a “university town” feel, but with Toronto still being nearby. As a student, it’s not small enough that there’s absolutely nothing to do, and not large enough that it’s too distracting.

How Will Your Research Improve Life?

My research was related to designing food systems with tailored lipid digestion profiles to either enhance or decrease satiation. This has a significant influence on health, particularly regarding highly prevalent diet-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
