Passionate About:

I am currently a 4th year Life Science student at McMaster University! I have always had a great interest in psychology as well as health care as a whole. I hope to one day work in the healthcare industry as well as do whatever I can along the way to provide basic health care to those around the world most in need. I am a huge advocate for human rights, something I have pursued through my involvement in Amnesty International and nothing is more important to me then family and those I care about!
