Hi! My name is Marina McLaren, I’m 22 years old and I live in Victoria BC with four roommates. I am a 5th year theatre major who loves creating art and working with kids. My goal is to become an elementary school teacher. In my free time, I love to read, watch movies, go to the beach, and cook/bake. I also love music (singing and listening), as well as drawing and painting.

This is my last semester at Uvic, after which I will be applying for the Uvic Post degree program for elementary education. Before that though, I am planning on going backpacking around South-East Asia for three months. I currently work at an out of school care with children aged grade K-5, which I really love as I am always learning strategies for better teaching practices.
