As a Junior Program Officer at the Public Health Agency of Canada, I contributed to the administration of the Yellow Fever Program by reviewing and processing applications to authorize clinics to administer the yellow fever vaccine. I also managed requests to terminate clinic authorizations, ensuring compliance with program policies and national standards.

This role required attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and effective communication with stakeholders, including clinics and internal teams. By handling sensitive information and adhering to established guidelines, I supported the agency’s efforts to maintain the accessibility of the Yellow Fever Program.

As a Student Ambassador at the University of Ottawa, I played a key role in promoting the university to prospective students and their families. My responsibilities included leading campus tours, and creating a welcoming and informative environment while showcasing the university’s programs, facilities, and community. I also engaged with future students through personalized tele-counseling, addressing their questions and concerns to help them make informed decisions about their academic journey.

In addition, I leveraged my creativity by producing engaging content for the university’s social media platforms, including TikToks and other media designed to capture the student experience. This role allowed me to develop strong communication, interpersonal, and time-management skills while effectively representing the university’s values and fostering connections with prospective students.
