I am a student from the University of Toronto, gaining a strong educational background in Health & Disease, Immunology, and Physiology. I have ample work experience that ranges from tutoring, managing social media, event planning, graphic designing, as well as outreach. I also am a healthcare worker, and work part time for major healthcare institutions like SickKids Hospital. I also do research, and have worked on projects to do with Multiple Sclerosis, sleep disorders, and asthma. I have a wide array of technical skills including graphic designing I did for student council at university, as well as freelance creative writing projects. I am a hard and passionate worker, and once I set my mind and goal on something, I am adamant on exceeding expectations and meeting deadlines to the best of my ability 100% of the time. I believe my portfolio of experiences and education will make me an asset for the project I take on through Riipen.

Research Project Associate - Part B2
A student will continue supporting our team in a mixed method research project on synchronicity/coincidental encounters and the role it plays in our lives. The student is expected to continue collecting varying data from their own lives (using personal narrative research methodology), as well as, begin identifying patterns or parts of patterns within the data collected thus far. Part B1 of this research project will involve content analysis and coding of the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the interview/focus group transcriptions. The student will also be required to create summaries of the findings from the data analysis portion of this research study.
Research Assistant
Bioprinting is a form of additive biomanufacturing, a field of manufacturing, that incorporates engineering techniques and biological compounds with material science and electronic knowledge to create 3D shapes and structures with biological properties. Bioprinting brings great manufacturing potential to the biomedical industry as it can facilitate the generation of living 3D structures through the printing of live cells. The use of biological compounds, like living cells, in bioprinting requires the use of certain production materials to protect and support these living components. Specifically, polymer materials with water-holding properties, hydrogels, are used to encapsulate living cells, and support them through the bioprinting process.There are many methods through which cell-laden hydrogels can be used in bioprinting. This project has the objective to review 3D bioprinting state of the art and the development of a vision to build a visible light-based SLA 3D bioprinter.
