On April 1^st, Flavio Medeiros began his new role at 天美mv天美 as our department鈥檚 graduate program assistant. Previously, Flavio worked at 天美mv天美鈥檚 Vancouver campus in the registrar鈥檚 office and with Meeting, Events, and Conference Services. What he liked most about these former jobs was connecting with people. Now, he is happy to be meeting 天美mv天美鈥檚 political science grad students, if only virtually at the moment.

鈥淚 miss seeing the students in person, but it鈥檚 still good connecting with them,鈥� Flavio says. 鈥淚鈥檓 definitely a people person. I love talking to people.鈥�

Flavio also has an excellent and up-to-date understanding of what the university experience is like, as he is currently finishing his bachelor鈥檚 degree in communication and taking remote courses. He is planning on pursuing graduate studies too.

Originally from Brazil, Flavio has lived in London, England and Vancouver, Canada and has advice for international students who are coming to our city for the first time.

鈥淓mbrace the culture,鈥� he says. 鈥淏e open and explore the city. Don鈥檛 be afraid if your first language isn鈥檛 English. Keep talking. It鈥檚 about communication. You need to understand and be understood.鈥�
