Jade Ali

Over the past academic year, Jade has been put through immense hardship, with the loss of her father less than a month into her second year studying at the University of Guelph. Despite this emotional trauma she has continued to excel in her studies, going on to achieve Dean’s Honours List standing from the College of Biological Science in the winter semester. She is extremely proud of herself and hopes that she’s making her dad proud as well. She has now finished her second year at the university, studying to earn an undergraduate degree in Biological Science undergraduate degree, which is a prerequisite for her eventual goal of attending the Ontario Veterinarian College.

After months, Jade has been finally able to reconnect with her love of the arts, and has been playing the guitar and singing every opportunity she gets, as well as getting back into watercolour painting. She hopes to continue down this track of pursuing music alongside school, as it was what both she and her father wanted, and she is ever so grateful for all the love and support she has continuously received from the Caribbean Event family.
