What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to advocate for mental health and support community health initiatives.

As a health science student at Wilfrid Laurier University, I have dedicated my academic and extracurricular efforts to advancing mental health awareness and improving community health practices. With a GPA of 3.9, I have excelled academically while gaining practical experience as a Research Assistant, where I contributed to significant research projects focused on knowledge translation in community-driven settings.

My leadership roles as Co-Founder and President of Circulating the Heart and Limitless have allowed me to organize impactful health campaigns and workshops, reaching hundreds of participants and fostering a supportive environment for mental health discussions. I am passionate about advocating for student voices and enhancing the academic experience through my work as a Health Science Representative and Youth Facilitator.
