Favourite part of brain: Nucleus Accumbens 

Main focus in club: I am starting a new initiative within the club called the ‘High School Neurology Outreach Program’.  It involves medical students visiting high schools in Vancouver and teaching the students about basic neuroscience, how neurological disorders occur, and what we do to treat them.  I am also interested in helping others within the club accomplish their goals in the club!
​
Favourite part of the brain: My favourite part of the brain would have to be the pineal gland because it releases melatonin which regulates our sleep (ps: I love sleep).

VP Recruitment(vfmp 2023)

Main focus in club: My main focus in the club is to organize interactive mentorship workshops with undergraduate neuroscience students where we attempt to link a few clinical cases to what they're currently learning in class. This program will help undergraduate neuroscience students see the material in a clinical context while also providing them with opportunities to network with medical students.

VP Events coordinator (vfmp 2023)

Main focus in club: My main focus in the club is to coordinate events to ensure that they run smoothly and successfully so our audience get valuable takeaways!
