Once again in no particular order let me introduce our 3rd & final 2024 YWOTY nominee Naomi Couture-Gagnon.

Nominated by Orillia Secondary School Guidance Counsellor Trevor Scott.

Here are Naomi's present/future goals and special interests.

I chose to go into Biomedical Engineering for three reasons: my love for learning and problem-solving, my team-work skills and my desire to address healthcare challengers. Throughout high school, my strengths have always lied in my math and science classes that require hard work and additional thinking. In addition to that, I was interested in the materials that were taught in my biology and chemistry classes. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the Biomed program at McMaster would allow me to continue to develop my problem-solving skills while combining engineering and healthcare. Furthermore, engineering is a discipline that requires collaborations. The sports and clubs that I have been involved in have taught me to work with others in order to reach a common goal. Teamwork is now a strength of mine and I believe that the greatest ideas come from collaboration. Lastly, I would love to contribute to addressing health care challenges. Biomedical engineers have contributed to life-changing medical practices that have directly impacted me. I would love to one day give back by contributing to the improvement of medical technology.

Thank you Naomi your dedication to hard work & collaboration is inspiring. Good Luck & we look forward to meeting you very soon.
