Staff Photo Smallest

At the beginning of the summer, we interviewed our 2022 team and asked them the following questions.         

  1. What is your favourite jungle animal?
  2. What is your favourite jungle movie?
  3. What plant are you (based on an online quiz!)?

Read what they answered below!

 o   Zach Bullock (Director) Zach

Zach is in his second year of his Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology. Fun fact: Zach can solve a Rubiks cube in under 20 seconds, and he also owns and can solve a 10x10 Rubiks cube! 

  1. Orangutans
  2. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. He was in a jungle for a while, right?
  3. I am a monstera deliciosa. This means that I am the kind of person everyone wants to be with! I have a big personality that makes everyone around me happy. 

 o  Nathan Rancier

Nathan

Nathan just graduated his Bachelor of Science with a Chemistry major. This summer is Nathan's second year as an instructor with EUReKA!. Fun fact: Nathan is a self-taught coder using Lua programming language!

  1. My favourite jungle animal has got to be lions.
  2. Madagascar is definitely a classic!
  3. According to this unorothodox quiz, apparently, I am a cactus. Why? Because apparently cactuses are reliable friends and are social and extroverted.

o   Madeline McIntyre-Ponsioen

Madeline

Madeline is in her fourth year of her Bachelor of Science with a major in Math. This summer is also Madeline's second year as an instructor with EUReKA!. Did you know? Madeline can't whistle!

  1. Jaguar
  2. Madagascar
  3. Calathea; Like the calathea, you can be a tad bit dramatic! You have a great appearance and tend to make everyone around you smile.

o Kacie Long

Kacie

Kacie is going into her second year of Population and Community Health: Aboriginal and Rural Health; Bachelor of Health Sciences Degree. Did you know? Kacie is known as "speaker kid" on the ski hill.

  1. A lemur
  2. The lion king, I cry every time
  3. Monstera Deliciosa; You're the kind of person everyone wants to be with! You have a big personality that makes everyone around you happy.

 o   Luke Lindsay

Luke

Luke is beginning his Bachelor of Education program this fall. Luke volunteered with EUReKA! for a week last summer and is joining us as an instructor this year. Did you know? After wearing glasses and contacts for fifteen years, Luke recently had eye surgery to fully correct his vision. He hasn’t been able to see this well since he was in 1st grade!

  1. I find gorillas to be really fascinating!
  2. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
  3. Monstera Deliciosa; You're the kind of person everyone wants to be with! You have a big personality that makes everyone around you happy.
