Today's episode will be the last Community Garden for this season! In today's episode, we have a special guest, Afnan from the Applied Animal Biology. Afnan and Rob will be speaking about some of Afnan's experiences as the LFS Student Ambassador, her plethora of experiences at UBC, career and involvement advice, as well as what things Afnan looks for in a workplace. In this episode, there is an over-arching theme of birds, as it is one of Afnan's favourite animals, and she will be providing a great metaphor using her favourite bird. At the end of the episode, Rob and Elena will wrap it up by naming 5 celebrities they may have been near, with 1 of them not being one they've actually been near.
