Embracing passion for healthcare
Science student travels to South Africa
Sabrina Stokotelny found joining the college membership early in her studies beneficial.
The third-year Faculty of Science student, she recently travelled to South Africa over the summer as the recipient of the Undergraduate Student Research Award.
During her time in South Africa, she applied her skills to real-life situations and reflected on the importance of healthcare and the difference she wants to make.
“I’ve always seen myself working in healthcare. I wasn’t sure what kind of care specifically, but I knew I wanted to make a difference with the people I work with.”
As a current St John’s student ambassador and SJCSA council member, she credits the college with helping her grow as a person and student throughout her degree.
“The community here and the friendly people have allowed me to be myself and help me grow.”
With her passion for healthcare ahead of her, Sabrina is excited to continue her studies in science and apply what’s she learning.
