Get to know Adalynn

What is your fondest memory of UBC?

My fondest memory was living in first-year dorms. It was great getting to know people at the beginning of my academic journey. It was also a great opportunity to meet people from outside of my faculty and program. Even though the living condition wasn’t the greatest, I cherish all those fond connections and memories.

What is your favourite book, movie, tv show, and/or other media?

My favorite movie is Spotlight. It is a movie on a dark, horrifying subject and really complex cases. I am impressed by how the director made a lengthy fact-based story so enticing and engaging. The film also shines a light on the power of journalists and their impact on victims’ lives.

Do you have any pets? Can you tell us about them?

I have two cats, Banban and Lulu. They are my source of comfort and peace. Banban is a tabby cat and he was already an adult when he came to my home. He was an amazing cat for a first-time pet owner like me, calm and well-behaved. Lulu was a three-month-old kitten when I adopted her. Since then, she has been a spoiled little sister and a troublemaker.
