Program: MASc in Biomedical Engineering
With extensive experience and a great passion for mechanical and electrical innovation, as well as an academic background in life sciences, I was very interested in pursuing higher education in a combined field. When deciding between biomedical engineering or biotechnology, I chose the former because it allows me to make meaningful contributions that have a direct impact on enhancing human health.
I will never forget the day that I made the national championships’ qualifying standard as a varsity track and field athlete while competing on my home turf. The outpouring of support I received from my fellow students and the UBC community gave me the encouragement I needed to achieve this great athletic accomplishment. This was truly a standout moment for me and I’ll cherish the memory forever.
I recommend that new students take on projects outside of the classroom and push themselves to new heights. Work hard, never stop questioning, and never turn down an opportunity. As they say, there are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
I love spending time with my younger brother. You can’t really go wrong hanging out with someone funny, smart, and motivated.
I will be working as a manufacturing engineer at Medtronic by day, and will continue to innovate by night. Life should be good.
