I was born in Hong Kong and raised in Vancouver since I was three. Living in two different parts of the world, I have gained a passion for travelling and exploring new cultures. During my down time, I enjoy sports, namely weight lifting and basketball and snowboarding. My interest in going on outdoor adventures and enjoying nature got me into the faculty. I am expected to graduate in May 2016 and I plan to take a year in business school to combine forestry and commerce together. Specifically I would want to have a career in timber sales and trading on an international level.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/02\/20160121_104932-e1454354229667-265x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/02\/20160121_104932-e1454354229667-265x300.jpg 265w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/02\/20160121_104932-e1454354229667-768x870.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/02\/20160121_104932-e1454354229667-904x1024.jpg 904w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/02\/20160121_104932-e1454354229667.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Robin was born in Korea and immigrated to Canada when I was 10 years old. I first attended UBC in 2010 as a student in faculty of Engineering, but my passion for outdoor activities made me realize I needed to find a better field of study. After a year of searching, I finally decided to study forestry. Now, I am a 4<sup>th<\/sup> year student in faculty of Forestry majoring in Operations and minoring in Commerce. I am very excited to be a part of this massive project and looking forward to working with my peers and clients. At the end of all this experience in UBC, I hope to obtain my RPF and pursue my career in forestry.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/01\/20160121_105023-e1454354049421-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"20160121_105023\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/01\/20160121_105023-e1454354049421-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/01\/20160121_105023-e1454354049421-768x798.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/canimforestserviceubc\/files\/2016\/01\/20160121_105023-e1454354049421-985x1024.jpg 985w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/u><\/strong>Weillas is a 4<sup>th<\/sup> year Forest Operations major at UBC.
