fter graduating from St. Andrew’s, I went to York University where I received my BSc in psychology. I then attended the Michael G. Degroote School of Medicine at McMaster University, and following graduation completed two years of residency through McMaster’s Family Medicine program. My time at SAC fostered the time-management skills that allowed me to excel in the busy life of a medical resident. During my time as a McMaster resident, I taught both first and second semester clinical skills to medical students as a clinical skills preceptor. I helped mentor internationally-trained medical graduates as they entered the Canadian system. I was also an active member on both the McMaster Medicine and Family Medicine selection committees and was honoured to be nominated most professional resident. I completed an educational research project investigating the benefits of corticosteroid knee injection training at the resident level. More recently, I was fortunate enough to be offered a position at the University of Toronto’s Family Practice-Anesthesia Enhanced Skills program and will be starting July 2015.

uring my undergrad, I pursued my passion for international law and global governance. I was involved with the G8/G20 Research Group as a student researcher and also served as the co-chair for the Canadian Centre for Responsibility to Protect. In 2012, I was a member of the Canadian Young Leaders Delegation that visited Taiwan to speak about its political future. During my dual master’s studies, I presented my thesis on international security at the International Studies Association Annual Convention. I am now pursuing a JD degree at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law. Last summer, I worked at an international law firm conducting legal research on American jurisprudence in international trade and cross-border M&A. I also organized the 2014 U.S.-China Forum on legal risk management for international businesses. Looking back at my time at SAC, I am grateful for the education I received from the excellent teachers who prepared me for the rigours of post-secondary studies and for the diverse extracurricular experience that helped me to become a well-rounded individual. I am forever thankful for the discipline and passion for knowledge I learned, and for the flexibility and teamwork skills I acquired from my roles as Prefect and Cadet Corps Officer.
