Heather Proulx (BA 2000) chose to attend the University of Waterloo for a few reasons. She liked the small class sizes and the wide variety of programs she could try.
She intended to major in Religious Studies. However, after a few classes in her Religious Studies and English courses, she chose English instead. Heather's favourite courses at UW were the two third-year Shakespeare classes, which she loved because she enjoys Shakespeare and because she found Dr. Ted McGee “an amazing prof.”
She met most of her best friends in the English department at UW. These friends were all at her wedding and, almost 15 years after first meeting, they are still very close. She has been married for 10 years now, and she and her husband have a six-year-old son.
After graduating from UW, Heather worked for a store owned by her family. She then took a few years off to stay at home with her son. She is about to begin an exciting new career with The Royal Bank of Canada.
