who am i?
hi! you made it to the very bottom. i'm paula, i'm originally from white rock (aka actually south surrey) and now living in north saanich / sidney. i'm a 3rd-year biostats student at uvic; you may know me as the 2nd-best co-president of BUGS.I'm committed to the community and getting young people out to vote in this crucial election. Voters aged 18-35 have by far the LEAST voter turnout in the country!
Be it because of the unfamiliar and intimidating voting process, the overwhelming information and news, or just feeling hopeless, I want you to know your voice matters more than ever. Together, we can be heard by the whole world (cringe ahh declaration).
I hope my silly website was able to help make voting more accessible and fun to learn about!
