Hi! I’m Ellie (she/her), a fourth-year student double majoring in Public Health and Sociology, with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. This year, I am the president of the Black Students’ Association at U of T and am involved in several other student clubs and councils! I am super passionate about social equity and justice, community health, education, and the future of youth. When I am not reading, I am usually drinking bubble tea or baking something sweet. Some fun facts about me are that I have been vegan for 10 years, and I have worked in summer camps for 8 years!

Hi, I’m Tyiesha! I’m an Afro-Indigenous woman passionate about advancing health equity for BIPOC communities. I’m currently in my final year of the Doctor of Pharmacy program, building on a Bachelor’s in Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology. Outside of school, you’ll usually find me outdoors, staying active, testing out a new recipe, or curled up with a good book.
