How I get involved: I enjoy being involved in opportunities that allow me to support and connect with the Waterloo community. Through roles such as a Teaching Assistant for biology labs (BIOL 130L & BIOL 240L), I have had the opportunity to help students build confidence in their laboratory skills and navigate their academic experiences. I have also contributed to student engagement as a Science Orientation Leader, Academic Coordinator with the Science Society, and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Student Ambassador, where I work alongside others to help create a more welcoming and inclusive campus environment. I have also been involved with residence life as a residence Don, supported students through my work as a Library Assistant, and participated as an executive member with the Sudanese Undergraduate Student Association (SUSA). Also, I enjoy volunteering at UW Day, March Open House, and Fall Open Houses to help welcome new students and share the sense of community that makes Waterloo special.
Why I love my program
I love Biomedical Sciences because it allows me to explore my curiosity about the human body and how science can be used to improve people’s lives. Every course gives me a new perspective and motivates me to keep learning more about healthcare!
Why University of Waterloo?
I chose Waterloo because I was looking for a university that would challenge me academically while giving me opportunities to grow outside the classroom. The supportive community and the chance to get involved in different ways made Waterloo feel like the right place for me.
