Biotechnology

Fidan joined Havergal’s Boarding Program in Grade 10, where she made lifelong connections and immersed herself in co-curricular and leadership opportunities. She contributed to the school’s community by being a Grade 10 Rep, touring families as an Ambassador, managing the U16 Softball Team, leading the Latin Club and Diversity Committee, planning Boarding activities as a Junior Don, learning about technology at various Blockchain Hackathon events and completing a Global Leading and Learning Diploma. Outside of school, Fidan shadowed a mentor from a start-up company through Creative Lab Design’s High School Girl Program. In Grade 11, she made it to the Technovation Girls competition semi finals for an app she co-developed. Academically, Fidan enjoyed focusing her studies on Science courses, including AP Biology. “My teachers at Havergal introduced me to the concept of interdisciplinary learning, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Biotechnology from the University of British Columbia,” she says. Her professional goal is to improve human lives through science and technology. “It is also my dream to help connect different cultures and ethnicities to find a universal solution to racism.”
