Paige Babin

Biography

Paige Babin attended Westmount Charter School in Calgary, Alta. Paige's top three achievements to date are the hundreds of hours she contributed to volunteering in school and her community at nine different organizations, leading an initiative to reduce paper waste in the school and community which gave her the opportunity to meet Jane Goodall, and attending Canadian nationals as both a synchronized skater and as a member in concert band.
 
The University of Calgary holds much meaning for Paige. As a fourth-generation Calgarian in a family with many University of Calgary alumni, she looks forward to carrying on her commitment to making the Calgary community better. The university gives her the opportunity to improve and enhance the city that she grew up in by collaborating with like-minded peers and students in an inspiring and welcoming community. Paige is enrolled in a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Biological Sciences and Psychology. These majors appealed to her because of her interest in discovering more about human and animal behaviour, and it will provide her with opportunities for research and a chance to work with animals in the future.

Outside of coursework, Paige is a competitive synchronized skater, enjoys playing the piano and saxophone, and loves hiking and camping in the Rockies.
