As a Food, Nutrition, and Health Science student at UBC, I have always been passionate about women’s health research, recognizing the critical need to address women’s unique challenges. As I’ve grown, I’ve noticed an incredible lack of support and research in treating and diagnosing maternal, hormonal, and mental health issues. Volunteering at the Women’s Health Research Centre at UBC offers an opportunity to deepen my understanding and contribute to much-needed research in this underdeveloped field. I’m eager to support ongoing efforts and gain experience that will enhance my academic and future career in health science.
