{"id":33196,"name":"Chris","url":"","description":"Currently 24 years old, I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It's a beautiful place to grow up, even if you do lose interest in the falling water after awhile. As a teen I struggled with depression and anxiety, and though they still creep into my life as I get older, I've found the strength and support that I need to get through the difficult times and stay positive.\r\n\r\nAfter highschool I completed a college diploma program in Computer Networking, then worked a year in the I.T. department at Fallsview Casinos, which was a really great gig. Even though I liked my job and was making decent money, I knew in the back of my mind that I'd always planned on getting a degree and pushing the limits of my potential.\r\n\r\nWith a passion for education, and a goal of helping to change the world, I packed my bags and drove from Ontario to beautiful B.C. to start my time at UBC. I'm working towards a major in Computer Science, and a minor in Commerce. What happens beyond that is a mystery, and I'm excited to see where life takes me.","link":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/supernotcasual\/author\/christopher-lederer\/","slug":"christopher-lederer","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c7a33332687ff3500725fee6fdcdc746ef4a5aa02f05352df0a14706ce502b95?s=24&d=retro&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c7a33332687ff3500725fee6fdcdc746ef4a5aa02f05352df0a14706ce502b95?s=48&d=retro&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c7a33332687ff3500725fee6fdcdc746ef4a5aa02f05352df0a14706ce502b95?s=96&d=retro&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/supernotcasual\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/supernotcasual\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
