BIO

Who Am I?

Bonjour! I am Gurnika Kaur, a second year student of University of Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA. I am currently pursuing Bachelor of Mathematics (Honors) with an intend to major in Statistics. My hometown is the embezzling city of New Delhi, India. I have a strong passion for Mathematics and view the hurdles of life similar to that of Mathematics. Promptness in decision making, enhanced oratory and managerial skills have been my strong suit. In my time off, I prefer listening to music genres like classical symphonies, heavy metal or old Hollywood music.

With a zest to explore nature, the beautiful treks of the Himalayas, bring me peace. Being an avid reader, my inspiration comes from the people around me. Deeply passionate about social change, I understand the grievances of the weaker sections of the society, highlighting them resolutely in my book.
