Hi my name is Juliana, my pronouns are she/her. I am a third-year con-Ed student. I am the events director of this club, and we have some exciting fundraisers coming your way! Last year, I was a general member, and this year I wanted to take on a bigger role. The reason why I joined in the first place is that I truly see the value that free education can do for us all. It gives us the power to strive in our own direction, and I am fortunate enough to have an education, I also want others to be able to have the same accessibility that we do.

Hi, my name is Maggie and my pronouns are she/her! I am a fourth-year sociology major at Queen’s.

I am one of the two co-chairs for Daughters for Life (DFL) this year, alongside Sorsha. I joined DFL in my second year as I have always been very passionate about the importance of education for young women and girls.

I support girls' education because I believe education is a powerful tool in helping individuals to maximize their potential as it could significantly improve their economic, political, and social situation. Most importantly, education should be a right that is accessible for everyone. I believe DFL is the right place for me to achieve my personal mission and raise public awareness on this complex, systemic issue.

Fun fact about me: I am a polyglot 🙂
