“A brief background of my preliminary knowledge about electrical engineering would be my father's experiences at work. My father was an employee at Tabriz (My Hometown) power plant for almost 30 years, and he used to speak about his daily activities at work. Besides, on particular days, employees’ children were allowed to visit the power plant and observe how different engineers work together to maintain the power plant stable to generate electricity. At the time, I would enjoy watching engineers while they were fixing and assembling power plant various parts and among them, electrical engineers used to work on a wide range of systems, from tiny microchips to huge power plant generators…”

“I am in currently entering into my first year of a Master of Health Sciences in Physiotherapy at the University of Ottawa. Prior to beginning my masters, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with Honours at the University of New Brunswick.

When not running or volunteering I could be found seeking out a sushi restaurant or walking one of my three dogs…”

“I completed my BSc Honours in Medicinal Chemistry at UNB Fredericton in 2020. I worked in two different on-campus labs during my time at UNB, one of them being the Dyker Research Group and the other being the Blight Research Group. My work in these groups focused on inorganic and supramolecular chemistry. I was proud to present my experience with research at the inaugural ASRJ “SciSpire” conference in November of 2019. I am currently a student at Dalhousie Medical School in Halifax, NS…”
