It is time to introduce one of the new faces you will be greeted by when entering APPC ☺️ Let’s learn a bit about Jemma!
What made you want to get into healthcare?
I fell in love with biology and kinesiology in highschool and I had always wanted to do a profession that helped people so it became clear to me that the health field was the right fit for me. This led me to studying Health Sciences in University.
What do you do for self-care?
Draw/paint/create art, read, bike along the lake, hang out with friends, watch movies :)
What's your favourite form of exercise?
More recently cycling but I love playing soccer and hockey as well.
What's been your favourite neuroscience university course you've taken so far?
I took health sciences in university so I'm not sure if this is an error or not but I did take one neurobiology course that was really interesting.
My favourite Health Science course, however, was Developmental Origins of Health and Disease. It highlighted specific prenatal and postnatal experiences/exposures that can contribute to diseases or health issues later in life.
What's the most important thing you've learnt so far?
Don't leave your interests and passions in the past when they could be your future.
Welcome Jemma !!
