Wajeeha Cheema, She/Her/Hers
Hello! My name is Wajeeha Cheema, and I am a fourth-year Life Sciences student at McMaster University.
I have been living in Hamilton for 18 years now and am very excited to take this course. Living here for so long has made me treasure the city. But, I have also become more aware of social issues disproportionately impacting specific communities. For these reasons, I chose to enrol in CityLab to learn how to engage and build better relationships with communities to fight for positive and equitable change. As a member of the cycling infrastructure group, I hope to gain life-long skills that better prepare me for community work in the future.
My hobbies/interests are reading, watching anime, baking and spending time with family and friends.
