Everyone says “relax, take it easy, don’t overdo it.” But Paige chose a different path. She knew there were seasons where the only way forward was to go all-in - maxing out on academics, leadership, and extracurriculars when it mattered most.
That choice carried her into UBC’s ultra-competitive Business and Computer Science program - and later into an elite role as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon.
In this episode of The Journey, Jason Yee and Paige break down:
How she built a standout admissions profile in high school
What it takes to survive and thrive in the rigorous “BUCS” program
Why pushing hard during key windows can unlock opportunities others miss
And her candid advice for students who feel pressure to know exactly where they’re going
Paige’s story is a reminder: your path isn't always linear - sometimes you need to sprint.
