Bio

I am currently a second-year student at the University of Calgary completing my Master of Pathologists Assistant degree. With experience in both an operating hospital laboratory as well as within a research setting, I feel that I have been equipped with the tools needed to be a successful colleague and employee in a variety of fields and teams. I am passionate about combining my interests in both clinical laboratory medicine and scientific research to improve healthcare systems and the lives of those in my community.
I consider myself an organized, detailed-oriented person and often thrive in environments which require accurate data analysis or in-depth research. However, I also gravitate toward positions where I can mentor my peers and/or assist with inspiring the younger generation to become more involved in education and their community.

Team feedback
Kaelyn did much to improve the Global Student Government's research and outreach. Two examples of Kaelyn's work included updating the GSG outreach database with student government contact information from around the world, as well as helping with advocacy by liaising with relevant stakeholders across multiple continents for GSG advocacy initiatives. Kaelyn also helped the GSG improve relations with another global student organization, and assisted with creating graphics and advising on Communications Department strategies. It was an honour to have worked with Kaelyn and her efforts have helped improve student democracy at the global level.

Research and Outreach to Student Governments Around the World

The Global Student Government (GSG) was created in 2022 by a coalition of student governments collectively representing millions of students across all inhabited continents. The GSG seeks to represent students in international education policymaking and discourse, while providing services to support student governments, other extracurricular groups, and individual students.Problem students will be solving: As far-reaching as the GSG is, there are still many student governments at campus and national levels around the world that do not have a voice at the international level and need to be contacted. We need to research these organizations and their needs, and establish contact with them so they can participate.Outcome students are expected to achieve: The goal of this project is to 1) create a comprehensive database of student governments and their contact information, and 2) contact these student governments to establish strategic partnerships to integrate them into the GSG's network.
