Divya Tamilselvan, She/Her/Hers
My name is Divya Tamilselvan and I’m in the Biomedical Discovery and Commercialization program. I’m originally from Toronto and now I am proud to call myself a Hamilton transplant.
When asked about my interests, I often don’t know where to start as it ranges from medical technology, to mental health advocacy and management. Although I do know that the common theme between my interests, is creating meaningful and sustainable change in communities and this is exactly what CityLAB SIR is about.
I joined CityLAB with the hope of learning beyond theory and engaging with the people of the community that I’m proud to call home for the past few years. Through my experience thus far, it has been exactly that and more, as it has pushed me beyond my comfort zone, where true growth and character development occurs. I’m excited for more experiences, and more opportunities to learn from my peers, and more importantly, my community!
