Our Team

Co-founder

It all begins with an idea. For me, it was helping the community by using my 3D printer to print medical equipment. Then it became the goal to create one of the largest Not-For-Profit organizations in London, Ontario. All I can say is that I feel honoured to work with so many amazing individuals who help make their community a better place.

Co-founder and Director of Community Engagement

I graduated in Neuroscience from Western University. Early in the pandemic, I was frustrated that I couldn’t help my community as much as doctors and NGOs. The Student Relief Team gave Pooya and me a way to support communities across Ottawa, Toronto, and London at a scale we couldn’t reach alone—showing the power of uniting like-minded students. I’m grateful to work with such a dedicated team.

Head of Operations

Growing up with an immigrant mother and a father whose health and business were severely impacted by the pandemic, I felt a deep responsibility to support underrepresented families and struggling businesses. I was fortunate to join a group of compassionate individuals, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their mission. As my involvement grew, I took on the responsibility of overseeing our various divisions and volunteers. It has been a privilege to work with such a dedicated team, and I’m proud that our efforts to support the community.

Operations Division Coordinator

Hi everyone! My name is Jimmy. I graduated from Honor Specialization in Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Western Ontario, and I am the coordinator of the Logistics Department of the Student Relief Team (SRT). It is a privilege to be able to help the local community with many like-minded individuals, and It is absolutely amazing how far SRT has come since the beginning. I am very excited about what has yet to come!

Academic Division Coordinator

I’m currently taking an internship year to work at SickKids Hospital and will be returning for my 4th year studying HSP Physiology & Pharmacology the year after. Reading about the impactful work the SRT has done for the London community inspired me to join the team and give a different, academic edge to the help they have been providing thus far. The SRT is a team of inspiring individuals that I am blessed to have had the opportunity to join.

3D Printing Division Coordinator

I graduated from UWO studying Pathology. I am with SRT because I want to make a difference at this pressing rough time when our community needs our help the most. I have been passionate about medical innovation and 3D printing early in my undergraduate journey and co-leading the 3D printing division was really an obvious step to take for me. Beyond 3D printing, my involvement with SRT is also as a co-lead for the peer support division. 

Mental Health Division Co-Coordinator

Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I am currently completing my 4th year in Biochemistry of Infection and Immunity at Western. The onset of the pandemic motivated me to join SRT and contribute to all the wonderful initiatives! I am unbelievably thankful to have the opportunity to work with so many motivated individuals who want to make a change in our commmunity.

Mental Health Division Co-Coordinator

Hello! My name is Gagan, and I graduated from the University of Western Ontario, studying physiology. When the pandemic came about, I sought out initiatives through which I could stay engaged with the community, and help people stay positive through these difficult times. I joined SRT as a result, which has given me the pleasure of working with a group of highly motivated and like-minded peers in bringing positivity to our community.

Media Division Co-Coordinator

Hi, my name is Hannah! I am a graduate of the Medical Sciences and Biology double major program. In response to COVID-19, I joined Student Relief Team (SRT), which provided me with an opportunity to help our community during these unprecedented times. I am grateful to be working alongside a great team of individuals, each bringing something different to SRT but collectively coming together to achieve the same goal — to make a positive impact on our community.
