I am a student entering 3rd year in the Medical Sciences program at Western University. I gained a strong interest in biochemistry and human diseases after learning about these topics in my courses.

My most recent volunteer role is on the R2P Team at Parkwood Institute, where I work on a quantitative research team to develop a survey on the effect of assistive equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, etc.) on the wellbeing of disabled individuals, administer physiotherapy to spinal cord injury patients, and create a resource and equipment hub. My experiences have helped me become proficient in working in a team, and solving problems in a fast-paced environment.
