Artist + Med Lab Assistant
When I was in school and working part-time, I found myself struggling; unsure of how to plan out my days and my tasks without completely overwhelming myself. I failed to keep the balance at the beginning, inducing burn-out, stress, anxiety, and more. When you're in school, there may be a number of things happening in [...]
So I've now become a medical lab assistant/technician (MLA/T)… now what? What will this blog become? Over the past year, this blog was primarily dedicated to my experiences and journey to becoming an MLA/T, including some information regarding the profession. It's been a fun year of posting and explaining the profession for you all, but [...]
As my placement at the clinic comes to an end, so does this very short series of "Placement Diaries". I apologize for not doing weekly updates, it was tough to keep up with everything I was learning and the day-to-day things we do in the clinic. I managed to write what I learned during my [...]

This had become routine for me, and I honestly loved it. Having this routine allowed [...]
When I was in my third year of university, I had discovered and fallen in love with this amazing scicomm community. At the time I focused my blog and Instagram about my experiences taking bioinformatic and biotech courses, with a bit of insight into sustainability (since I was living away from home at the time) [...]
I've always been interested in the idea of self and personal identity. Although this is not necessarily a science related post, it is a topic I am genuinely interested in. From Buzzfeed quizzes to astrological signs, the idea of self identity has been a topic on the minds of everyone at some point in their [...]
Pursuing an undergrad is a very unique experience that can vary for everyone. Beginning that journey feels like there is a very long road ahead, filled with a number of challenges and achievements. As exciting as it is when ending that journey, it can be a really confusing and overwhelming time. After 4 long years, [...]
Over the part couple of weeks I’ve become more interested in environmentalism and sustainability. You hear a lot about this topic on social media like going to a zero-waste lifestyle, minimalism, switching to a vegetarian/vegan diet etc. etc. And I’ve been seeing this a lot more recently on my social media feed. Maybe it’s because [...]
