A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Heidi Heung. I am currently in my third year at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. I study psychology and hope to go to teacher's college after my first degree.

Background
I went to Don Mills Collegiate Institute for high school. Throughout my time there, I was involved in three school plays. I competed in the Canadian Improv Games and won bronze and silver for my division in my last two years of high school.

Employment
At home, I teach piano on a weekly basis. On campus, I work as a McMaster tour guide. I also hold a job as a Building Access Staff Administrator, supervising the program implemented to monitor guests in residence buildings. I was also a facilitator trained on high and low rope courses with Altitude, a part of the Outdoors and Recreation office at McMaster.

Volunteer Experience
In the past, I have volunteered at the Royal Ontario Musuem with their hands-on exhibits during March Break. One summer, I worked with the Ontario Science Centre Camp as a camp assistant. I have also volunteered to lead Junior Worship and teach Sunday School at my local church. I love working in the community, especially with children. Currently, I am an in-school mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters at an elementary school in Hamilton.

Interests/Hobbies
I am on the McMaster Dragon Boat Team. I have a green belt in tae kwon do. I completed my Royal Conservatory of Music certificate for piano up to grade ten. I play an acoustic guitar and I listen to a variety of music. I like to read novels when I'm not reading my textbooks. I can spin plates on a stick and do some basic juggling. I like random art projects like sewing, wood carving, drawing and painting. I enjoy camping and hiking, especially with my family.
