Vanessa (she/her) is a fourth-year transnational UBC student living on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sʔəl̀ilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
She is currently pursuing a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on the theme of (Asian) Migration and Postcolonialism. Having migrated from Singapore to Canada to New Zealand and back to Canada again, her experiences as a third-culture kid has brought her to this major/program. She is currently a Special Projects Coordinator at ACAM.
In her free time, Vanessa loves going to the cinemas, listening to hour-long interviews, thrifting crazy coats, fangirling over books, skiing, eating, and drinking bubble tea.
This is Vanessa’s first year with the Dialogues cohort and she has absolutely loved it!
