Josephine Elder

I am a Life Sciences student at the University of Toronto, doing a double major in Microbiology and Biochemistry. I am looking for an opportunity to continue to develop my research, analysis and presentation skills, building on my experience with an original research project completed as part of the AP Capstone Research program. I wrote a research paper in aquatic ecology and presented my research in front of a panel. My long-term career motivation is to bring science into the world and turn research findings into real life solutions.
