I am a proud member of the M2M (Multiple Sclerosis to Movement) Project, which is a sub-team within the UBC student design team, BEST (Biomedical Engineering Student Team). The goal of the M2M project is to design a glove that connects to mobile games designed for practicing different hand movements—in order to enhance the physical therapy process for those struggling with MS. I am fascinated by the field of biomedical engineering, but at the end of the day, what motivates me is a passion to help people.One of my early experiences in engineering was during the summer before my first year of studies when I had the opportunity to work with the University of Calgary's International Genetically Engineered Machine (IGEM) team. Our mission was to design an eco-friendly and compostable fruit packaging using bacteria cellulose. While initially assigned routine tasks, I quickly proved myself and took on the responsibility of improving the transparency of the bacterial cellulose used in the packaging. My dedication to finding a solution was recognized by the team, and our innovative project went on to win the environmental award at the IGEM conference. This experience reaffirmed my belief in the potential of engineering to address real-world challenges and create meaningful solutions.As I continue on my journey, I am excited to explore new opportunities, collaborate with like-minded professionals, and contribute to the next wave of advancements in healthcare!
