Running for:
President, VP Internal (Hamilton), VP External
About me:
Hello! My name is Jared, and I’m the youngest of four siblings. I was born and raised in Toronto and have always loved being part of a busy, close-knit family.
Before medicine, I completed iBioMed here at McMaster and then went to U of T for my Master of Public Health. Now, I’m very happy to be back at Mac!
Outside of school, I love staying active, especially running and working out, spending time with friends, cooking, and watching movies. Most importantly, I’m a big fan of Costco, primarily for the free samples and occasionally for the actual shopping.
I’m really looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next three years, so if you ever see me around, please come say hi!
My platform:
My platform is centred on building on the work of MMSC to keep our class connected, supported, and heard.
First, I want to establish regular class check-ins where students can anonymously share concerns, ideas, and feedback, alongside updates on what MMSC is working on and how that feedback has been addressed.
Second, I want to work with council to create a centralized, easy-to-navigate hub for opportunities, resources, events, and supports, so classmates know what is available without having to search for it.
Finally, I want to make our three years together memorable by supporting class traditions, celebrating milestones both big and small, and ensuring Costco hot dogs make at least a few appearances along the way.
Ultimately, I want C29 to feel heard, informed, and connected to the community we are building together.
How do you plan to ensure that EDI is integrated in your role(s)?
I plan to integrate EDI into my role in three main ways. First, I will proactively seek input, using anonymous feedback and class check-ins to hear from students who may not feel comfortable raising concerns publicly. Second, I will collaborate early, involving the VPs of EDI, Indigenous Health, and Black Health when relevant initiatives are being planned, rather than only seeking their input after decisions have been made. Third, I will build EDI into decision-making by considering factors such as accessibility, cost, timing, and whether an initiative could unintentionally exclude members of our class.
I recognize that I will not have the lived experience to fully understand every issue, so I will be willing to listen, ask questions, and adapt my approach based on the perspectives of others.
