Hey everyone, 

My name is Mary Gannon and I’m a fourth year student majoring in journalism and minoring in criminology. After what feels like a very long and strange summer, I am glad to be back at STU studying human rights.

I am living in Fredericton while I study but I am originally from Toronto. I love yoga, travelling and movies. As I am in journalism I am also interested in photography and took a special interest in National Geographic this past summer. I am hoping to have some time to practise with my DSLR in Freddy this year.

I am looking forward to learning more about human rights with all of you. Let’s have a good semester!

Hey Mary,

I love to travel as well (when it is safe to do so, of course). Nat Geo always has the best travel shots. If you're not already, I highly recommend subscribing to their email newsletter (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/newsletters/signup.html)

Nice to meet you!

Hello Mary!

Congratulations on being in fourth year, you must be so excited to graduate! I have also always wanted to move to Toronto and I have family there so I am super jealous! Good luck this semester!!

Hi Mary, I also love photography, I picked it up last summer and have been in love with it ever since. DSLR cameras are also super fun, once you get the hang of them. If you find fun places to take pictures I'd love to hear of some. When I'm home in NS, I tend to take a lot of pictures of the ocean.

Hey Nicole,

I haven't found too many places yet, though the waterfront and walking bridge are obvious places to start! I would love to explore Nova Scotia with my camera as well, the province is so beautiful.

Hey Mary!!! Do you have any places or websites you would recommend to practice yoga?? Journalism sounds so fun! You must have so much fun exploring Fredericton for all your stories! I am excited for this semester as well and cant wait to discuss the novels we will be reading :)

Hi Hilary,

I would recommend the website yoga girl. It offers free classes in a bunch of different yoga styles with meditation as well! It is fun exploring Fredericton, though I wish I could explore more of the maritimes as well.

Hi Mary! Nice to meet you.
OMG, I love the same things - yoga, travelling and movies. I picked up yoga this summer and I've been loving it. I didn't get much travelling in this summer because of corona but I went on my first girl's trip to Halifax last month. I loved it!! What movies do you like? I cannot watch scary vampire stuff or stuff along those lines because I get pretty vivid nightmares lol

Hope you have a great school year!

Hey Muchaneta,

Nice to meet you! Halifax is always super fun so a girl's trip there must have been really nice! I like all sorts of movies - though I tend to stray away from horror as well. Hope you have a good semester! :)
