👀 Have you checked out all our content from this semester? 👀

Introducing our Director of Education, Busé!

She is a first-year student in Co-op Psychological and Health Sciences, planning to major in Psychology and Health Studies. She likes to play board games and play the violin in her free time. She is also super passionate about pottery as well as the art of kintsugi. 

Buse’s joined this club to emphasize the importance of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and to raise more awareness. Buse wants people to know how to approach people with IBDs and what IBDs are in general as she personally struggled with understanding it and therefore, explaining to others when she was first diagnosed with Crohn’s. 

Feel free to ask/talk to her about anything you want! She loves meeting new people and having friendly conversations since she believes it is important to not feel alone and that there is always someone that you can talk to!
