Milica Hinic, She/Her/Hers
I am currently in my fourth year of Communication Studies at McMaster University. I am also a Regulated Health Professional; part-time employee of Hamilton Health Sciences. With that being said, the reason I decided to take a semester at CityLAB was to be able to learn and apply teachings to practice. The idea of being part of diverse team working collaboratively on projects with community, attracted my attentions to this class.
I enjoy learning from others, building relationships and making a true difference. My attained communication skills allow me to present information in a variety of interactional ways where CityLAB helps create a new space for extending these practices. Along with new and innovative methodologies, the dialogue component brings forward my strengths and weaknesses which helps me build more self-awareness and mindfulness towards others.
Take away: Appreciate all communities and their members with respect and continuously educate through the means of engagement.
