Meo Cui (she/her)
Learning Strategist
Hi, I’m the Learning Strategist for the Arts Cohort, and you can think of me as your go-to person whenever you’re not sure where to turn. I was once in your shoes, studying for my Master’s in Education at TRU as both an international and mature student, so I know how challenging it can be to keep up with course schedules, learn all the new terms, and figure out the many resources available.
I’m here to help you navigate all of that! Along with the instructors, TAs, and our mentor in the Cohort, I’m committed to providing you with the best support possible. Feel free to drop me an email at artscohort@tru.ca, or book an appointment with me. I’m excited to meet you and help you on your journey!
Manuel Centeno Duque (he/him)
Arts Cohort Teaching Assistant
Hi everyone, welcome to TRU! I am a fourth year Chemical Biology research student here at TRU where I serve, collaborate, and connect with other students and peers in a variety of outlets. I have knowledge in first year psychology and sociology as well as research design having taking courses and volunteered in research studies. Outside of class, I support Organic Chemistry Supplemental Learning sessions which are peer-led study sessions in various first- and second-year courses. I also support Peer Academic Coaching which are one-on-one sessions between peers where academic concerns and difficulties can be discussed. I highly recommend both resources to not only learn to study effectively but also to meet and connect with other students. I always find time to be active doing resistance training or playing sports since mental and physical health are important! I’m excited to meet and work with everyone!
Michelle Raglin (she/they)
Arts Cohort Teaching Assistant
I am a graduate student pursuing a Master of Arts Degree in Human Rights and Social Justice. While earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy from Thompson Rivers University in 2023, I was (and continue to be) actively involved in helping students as a Supplementary Learning Leader since 2020, a Mentor since 2022, and a Peer Academic Coach since 2021. I also thrive in roles as a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant. To support my studies, I work part-time as a server at a local restaurant. Passionate about exploring new cultures, I recently traveled to China on a field study trip. In my downtime, I enjoy skiing at Sun Peaks, cooking, and spending time with my pets.

Taanishi Kiyo! I am a proud Métis woman who grew up on the unceded ancestral territory of the Shíshálh Nation on the Sunshine Coast, BC. I was once an arts student at TRU and have since graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. I am now back pursuing a Bachelor’s of Social Work.
