Amanpreet Jolly
Ridgeback Student Voices Assistant
Aman graduated and has left her Ridgeback Student Voices role but her content lives on!
Faculty of Science
Hello! My name is Amanpreet Jolly but my friends call me Aman. I am a third-year Life Science student with hopes to study medicine. I greatly value mentorship, advocacy and community-building, hence why I am an Ontario Tech Peer Leader, Ambassador, President of the Students Recognizing the Residents Club and a member of the Science Council. I love to dance and I am a fitness fanatic! For over 11 years, I have been learning and teaching Bhangra and Bollywood dance. Recently, I started recording choreographies on YouTube! I believe kindness is contagious and I hope to leave a positive impact on all that I do.
