2013-14
Kathryn Yuen
U3, Art History and English
Kathryn is currently pursuing a double major in Art History and English, and a minor in Communications Studies. At McGill she is also actively involved with the AHCSSA as the new Editor-in-Chief of Canvas Journal. Around campus, Kathryn can be found talking to “Sara the Triceratops” at McGill’s Redpath Museum, as she is currently developing an interactive exhibit for the dinosaur, as part of her internship as an Assistant Curator. Although the Redpath Museum holds a special place in her heart, Kathryn one day aspires to become a curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York – her favourite art gallery. But until then, Kathryn spends her spare time experimenting in the kitchen in pursuit of the perfect cupcake.
