Aman Grewal - Classification Talk
 
 
 
Photo Credit:  Wendy Scott
 
Aman grew up in Surrey, BC.  He was raised by his single mother until the age of 9 when his mother passed away. 
 
He was then raised by his 3 uncles, 1 aunt, grandmother and grandfather. 
 
Aman excelled in school especially in sciences.  His favorite sport is basketball. 
 
After high school, Aman went to UBC where he got a Bachelor's of Science in General Sciences with a minor in Chemistry. 
 
After his bachelor's degree, Aman realized that a Bachelor's of Science in General Sciences wouldn't get him a job to help pay off his student debt, so he applied and got into the UBC School of Pharmacy knowing that a pharmacy degree would at least net him a paying job. 
 
Aman attained his Pharmacy degree in 2011. 
 
He met his wife, Raj, in pharmacy school.  They are happily married and live in an apartment in Guildford.
