Our alumni community creates solutions to local and global challenges.
For Simran Panatch, food is more than just something we feed our bodies—it is also a vessel for connection. This love of food has been a driving force in her academic and career pursuits, leading to her current role as the Managing Director of Athiana Acres, a 12-hectare regenerative farm in Steveston, Richmond.
Panatch (BSc FNH 2019) completeed her undergraduate degree in LFS, an experience she describes as transformative. During her studies, she spent semesters abroad at the University of Copenhagen and National University of Singapore, gaining an international perspective on food and health.
"Getting to try different cuisines and learn about food sciences in a different area was really interesting—the contrast of Europe and Southeast Asia and also my experience at UBC," recalls Panatch.
