I graduated from John G. Diefenbaker High School in Calgary Alberta. My most memorable accomplishment was co-founding a knitting club at my school that brought high school students together and handmade over 150 hats and scarves to donate to homeless shelters around Calgary. Starting a new club and gaining student interest was difficult at first but paid off when we visited shelters and saw the impact of our work. I also participated in my school’s annual fundraising Bike-a-thon for the Alberta Children’s Hospital, where my team was top fundraiser for two years. Although it only lasted a day, we spent months preparing for the event. I was surprised to see how many people in the community wanted to donate during our bottle drive fundraiser. I was also a member of Bridging the Gap, a club that regularly visits seniors. During my time there, my conversations with the seniors exposed me to new perspectives and I gained valuable advice from them. Academically, I am proud of receiving the Spring Award for IB Chemistry 3 years in a row during my school’s annual awards ceremony.

I choose Engineering because of its infinite opportunities for innovation and its impact on society. I plan to study Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering to design solutions to issues in the healthcare industry. My main interests lie in the engineering design process but some areas of research I hope to explore are patient rehabilitation, prosthetics and the improvement of medical devices. During my undergrad, I am looking forward to joining Engineering teams where I can apply and gain new technical skills and possibly compete in a competition for our work. I want to try joining different subteams such as mechanical and electrical to know how each discipline works hand in hand to create an optimal solution. I am also excited to be a part of different clubs aside from Engineering that would allow me to make an impact on my community.

My goal is to create an impact on society using the skills I would gain during my undergrad. In the future, I aspire to be an engineer working in the health industry that designs solutions to medical issues. After graduation, I would consider pursuing a masters in biomedical or mechanical engineering to deepen my understanding of these disciplines and develop more advanced skills that would open more opportunities to designing more innovative solutions.
