Alumni Profile: Dorothy Dinh Chan
Dorothy is a 2021 graduate of the Food, Nutrition, and Health (FNH) program who is now on her way in becoming a lawyer. While working hard as a current law student, Dorothy also dabbles into content creation. She gets to think both analytically and creatively in these two roles.
Dorothy reflects back on how her time in UBC has shaped her in developing the needed skills for her to thrive in her current roles. Being a student in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems has provided her with necessary experiences, opportunities, and skills that allows her to be both a law student and a content creator that can both have varying tasks. Her story provides a unique and new perspective on how to use an LFS degree to a different industry.
