Introduction to Me

Hannah Gardner

I’m a 4th year political science student at the University of Victoria. I’m excited to be taking EDCI 335 and be a part of this community.

Why did I take this class?

I chose this class as one of my three last electives I need to graduate with no expectations. I have been so pleasantly surprised about what I have learned in the first week and I am very excited to engage creatively in what the course has to offer. The ability to express creativity in political science courses is limited, so this is a new learning environment for me.

My mom and friends attended my defense and made me feel very loved and supported. I would not have been able to complete my thesis without them to fall back on.

Last month I completed my 50-page honours thesis and successfully defended it in front of a panel. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. After procrastinating for too long, I cranked it out between January-April. I developed a raging caffeine addiction and I never want to write anything that big again but it was definitely a super rewarding experience.

Outside of Academics

Our comprehensive suite of professionals caters to a diverse team, ranging from seasoned architects to renowned engineers.

This last summer I tried wake surfing for the first time.

My boyfriend lives in Maryland which is where I spent most of my childhood, so I’m always visiting.

I love learning about animals. When I visit my Dad in Florida I usually visit the local zoo.

When I am in Victoria I probably swim in the ocean just about every other day.
