The people behind the project

Our team

Co-presidents

  • Leslie Gao

    Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) · Queen's University

    Leslie Gao is currently studying Health Sciences (BHSc) at Queen's University. You can spot him volunteering his time at a youth help phone, working on the newest research papers on Alzheimer's disease, or in a tree. In his natural element. Not only did he publish his own paper in his freshman year, but he also really has an eye, or hand, for art. For instance, he creates art with adults with mixed cognitive abilities and made his own shirt for the Eras Tour! If you really get to know him, he's great at singing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and makes it sound like "Always" by Daniel Caesar. Peak music taste.

  • Yuheng (Yolanda) Huang

    Bachelor of Science (Honours) · University of Toronto

    Yolanda Huang is currently studying psychology and neuroscience at the University of Toronto. You can spot her having meaningful conversations with patients at a hospital, marketing for UofT clubs, coaching and choreographing routines for artistic swimmers, or café hopping to find the best matcha spot in Downtown TO. Not one café left unconquered. After publishing a business psychology paper in high school, she spent the summer of her first year interning in a bioinformatics lab at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, learning wet-lab experiments like western blot and dry-lab skills like DEG analysis. If you really get to know her, she's great at losing her phone then realizing she was holding it in her hand the whole time. Send help.
