Hi! If you’ve stumbled upon this page, it means something has peaked your interests about who I am and my involvement around the community. I’d like to start by saying feel free to connect with me at any time! I am a 4th-year Biology Major at the University of British Columbia with a dream of attending medical school upon my graduation. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, spent my childhood in Ndola, Zambia, and then moved to Surrey, B.C. with my family at the age of 8. This unique experience peaked my interest in being a global citizen.
I am a student, a leader, and a friend in the community. I look forward to connecting with people who are as passionate as I am about making a positive impact in their community. Over my years, I have done everything from attend university, start a successful business, raise two german shepherd dogs, and hike the best mountains B.C. has to offer.
I believe that through connections we learn, so send me an email at akash.sharma@ubc.ca
