Muntaka Siddique, She/Her/Hers
My name is Muntaka Siddique, and I am in my final year of Honours Life Sciences at McMaster University.
I have been living in Hamilton, Ontario, for 18 long years. Being a long-term resident in Hamilton, I was motivated to be part of CityLab, especially since CityLab works with real-life challenges in Hamilton. Through CityLab, I have the opportunity to create a positive change for my city and fellow Hamiltonians. Unlike other courses I have taken in University, this course provides a real-life element and hands-on experience. As I continue my CityLab journey, I aim to learn more about my city and community and ways to engage the community. And use these meaningful skills in my future endeavours.
My professional interests include health education, women’s health, inspiring children towards STEM, and making education and science more accessible. Outside the classroom, I love to cook and learn traditional homecooked recipes. I enjoy learning to sew, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends.
