Cindy L. Director of SYM Hi there, you can call me Cindy . I’m a first year student at the University of Calgary studying psychology. I’m very passionate about behavioural science and mental health, and I believe that mental health is crucial to people’s everyday lives. I’m also a stylized realism artist as well as a comic artist/writer. I like to play chess, the guitar, raising baby fish, and enjoy researching about plants during my free time. I’ve got 5 adorable parrots, and a basement filled with propagating plants at my home. It is a pleasure working with FYM!
