The job market has changed. Global and constantly evolving, the new world of work demands that university students get experience in their intended industry.

They can’t do both.

Until now.

Health Sciences Student – Wilfrid Laurier University

Get in touch

Hi! My name is Jessica and I am currently finishing my fourth year in Health Sciences at Wilfrid Laurier University.

At school, I am an executive member of many clubs related to my field of study, including Laurier Supporting Sick Kids and Laurier STEM Fellowship.

As the Head of Sail at Walden this past summer of 2024, I absolutely loved the opportunity it gave me to become a stronger leader. I take pride in my ability to work well with others and give my all in what I do.

Additionally, my work with the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation gave me the opportunities to meet with team members, patients, and build my communication skills. I love working with others and devoting my time to ensuring I give each person, task, or experience the effort it deserves.

Although my main focus is in sciences, I am open to any opportunities. Any area that allows me to continue to build on collaboration and communication, and especially leadership, is one that excites me!

I am available from May 1 to June 17!
