Enrique Droguett
Hey! This is Enrique. I’m a second-year master’s student in the MA in Human Development, Learning, and Culture program and one of your Co-HDLC Peer Advisors. I’m here to support all HDLC graduate students, whether you’re adjusting to the program, navigating academics, or settling into life in Vancouver. As an international student myself, I’m especially familiar with the challenges of moving abroad, but I’m here to help everyone in our program. A big focus for me is fostering connections and advocating for smoother transitions, so please reach out if you have questions or just want to chat! Let’s build a stronger HDLC community together!
