Name: Bonnie Cleland

About Bonnie:

I am from Kamloops BC and came to UVic specifically for the biopsych co-op program. I enjoy meeting new people, knitting, tap dancing and leading a youth group. I just recently received my advanced scuba diving certificate and I love exploring marine life. I lived in Mexico for a year before attending university and I haven't been able to get the traveling bug out of my system.

I joined AIESEC in 2009, attended Western Regional Conference and decided I couldn't go to enough conferences. By becoming a Vice President more conference opportunities were available to me so I decided to go for it. I am currently the VP Alumni Relations and looking forward to a really exciting year with AIESEC.
