Everyone says “relax, take it easy, don’t overdo it.” But Paige chose a different path. She knew there were seasons where the only way forward was to go all-in - maxing out on academics, leadership, and extracurriculars when it mattered most.

That choice carried her into UBC’s ultra-competitive Business and Computer Science program - and later into an elite role as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon.

In this episode of The Journey, Jason Yee and Paige break down:

• How she built a standout admissions profile in high school

• What it takes to survive and thrive in the rigorous “BUCS” program

• Why pushing hard during key windows can unlock opportunities others miss

• And her candid advice for students who feel pressure to know exactly where they’re going

Paige’s story is a reminder: your path isn't always linear - sometimes you need to sprint.
