About Me

Hey Macsci! My name is Jonathan and I'll be your VP External for the upcoming academic year. It will be my goal as your VP External to connect you to community partners, businesses, and organizations to make your time here at McMaster as fulfilling as possible. In my portfolio, we will host several events geared towards career-readiness with a bit of fun. It will be our priority to get you connected to alumni, faculty, and your fellow undergraduates!

If you need to find me, I'll probably be in the Life Sciences Building tending to my plants for my thesis, or in the greenhouse, giving tours and obsessing over plants.

This year, I am most excited to organize Symbiosis, the Quantum Leap Conference, and the Career Prep Day! These events will connect you to student researchers, alumni, and the SCCE, respectively. These people share the same goal as my team - to enrich your student life within our community and offer you as many opportunities as possible!

Goals

1. Make science accessible through science communication and collaborative events.

2. Create a larger network of collaborators with whom the McMaster community can interact with.
