Finalist Miss Canada 2017
Beenu B
Hello,
My name is Beenu, and I am twenty-one years old and live in Surrey, British Columbia. I am so honored to be representing British Columbia and cannot wait to embrace the new experiences and challenges this journey will bring to in order to continue what I am extremely passionate about: giving back to the community.
Currently, I am a Biology major at UBC, aiming to go into medicine to become a general body surgeon. In addition to being a full-time student, I am the president and Co-founder of a non-profit organization called Unified For Change. I also volunteer at the Emergency Department at BC children’s Hospital, and at Evergreen Brain Trauma Injury Center. Currently, I serve as the president for Young Women in Science and Engineering at UBC.
I hope to use this platform to help immigrants adjust to their community. I know that this is a lofty goal; however, in response to this, the words of former President Barack Obama always come to mind: “We did not come here to fear the future; we came here to shape it.”
