Being an undergraduate student I am becoming a more well rounded an avid learner, especially in the field of health care. Taking the steps necessary to achieve my goals and crush future ones is what I strive for using the tools I have refined over the past couple years as an IB graduate, club president and school board student senate member. Through out my academic career I had a passion for helping others and the sciences. Mashing the two lead to my current life, studying under McMaster's Bachelors of Health Sciences (Honours) program in hopes of finding my place in the health care profession. My goal at McMaster is to make meaningful and lasting change that will improve the well-being of those around me, including my peers, professors and colleagues. For example, I am currently working for COPE McMaster which aims to destigmatize mental health and help ameliorate student morals during these troubling times. Outside of School, I have a wide variety of work experience from being a cook at TAZA Express to research analyst with international consulting companies like ConsciousAssets. These experiences have helped me become a more well-rounded and mature individual -- shaping the person I am today.
