OUR TEAM

Hello, I’m Pauline and I’m proud to say I’ve been part of the Innovation4Health family since 2018! I’ve moved through several roles over the years and for the 2025 program, I’m one of the Co-EDs. I graduated from my MSc in Neuroscience and am now a second-year medical student at UCalgary. I’ve continued to be involved with I4H because I love the ever-growing community that the program has built. The vibrant energy that comes from excited, creative minds eager to tackle relevant health-related issues is inspiring. This year, I’m so thrilled to merge the innovation space with Women & Gender Diverse Health, as this aligns with my personal career and research goals.

I am really passionate about women and gender diverse health, and am excited to help this year’s event be a success! I completed my BSc. (Hons) in Neuroscience here at U of C, and I am currently a second-year medical student here. Outside of school and I4H, you can find me knitting, running, and creating pottery!
