I am currently in my third year of the Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) program at McMaster University. My academic interests lie in the areas of the gut microbiome, immunology, and women’s health, where I enjoy exploring how scientific research can be translated into meaningful healthcare practices. I aspire to pursue a career in healthcare where I can combine my academic knowledge, research experience, and compassion for others to make a positive impact on individuals and communities.
Outside of academics, I love engaging in activities that allow me to express creativity and connect with others. I enjoy painting, thrift shopping, playing basketball, and giving back through community involvement. Spending time outdoors is also important to me, whether it be through walks or hikes that let me recharge and reflect. My favorite season is fall—I love everything about it, from the crisp weather and cozy clothes to the comfort of warm seasonal foods. It also holds special meaning for me since it’s when I celebrate my birthday.
At my core, I am someone who values curiosity, connection, and care. I enjoy a good hot take and appreciate learning from the perspectives and experiences of others. My goal is to carry these values forward into healthcare, where I hope to provide the same support and care to others that I have been fortunate enough to receive myself.
