Meet Jocelyn, our student highlight this week!!

Jocelyn is a fourth year IFB student, originally from Calgary Alberta! She doesn’t come from a family of agriculture but has always had a passion for food and business and she absolutely loves the outdoors and traveling! Moving out east for school was her first time this far east in Canada and she has loved it the last couple of years. Her second year was in the Netherlands since that’s what the program required at the time since it’s a dual degree and a big reason why she joined. Jocelyn’s dad’s side of the family is from there so she enjoyed every minute of it and plans to go back and work in Europe once she graduates. 

Jocelyn’s days are spent going to different cafes in town and the campus library to get her course work done and enjoy the town as much as she can. Going to cafes to work and exploring cities is one of her favourite hobbies. One of her favourite places to work on campus is our Collin’s greenhouse, it’s so warm and cozy. 

With such a small class program, Jocelyn has been able to make life long friends both in Canada and in the Netherlands. She is so excited to graduate and see where life takes everyone and where she can get her foot into the food business world! Jocelyn’s dream is to open a cafe/bakery one day but she has a passion for how our food affects our bodies so anything in that realm will make her happy. And she has a love for marketing. 

Don’t forget that the Annual Aggie WIL Internship and Career Fair is TOMORROW!🙌
