About

Growing up, I was always asking the question “how?”. I was fascinated with how things work, whether it be elevators, giant construction cranes, even how they changed the numbers on the signs at the gas station. Many years later, I am still asking that very same question. However, I started to learn about biological systems and I found myself in awe of their complexity. Things that seemed so simple such as leaves turning red in the fall, or a human heartbeat, were actually the product of thousands of biochemical processes. This very same curiosity is what drives me to constantly learn more, whether it be in the classroom or as I build my career. The best thing about being a co-op student is that I’ve had the opportunity to expand and apply my knowledge throughout my undergrad: I developed my investigative research skills at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute where I helped other researchers to determine the effects of chronic alcohol exposure on those with a pre-existing heart disease. I expanded my knowledge of biomarkers and gained industry experience at SQI Diagnostics where I developed ELISA kits for diagnostic purposes. And finally, I developed my practical lab skills
