Coop Student (Spring 2023 Cohort)
Lara Elhossaini
Lara Elhossaini is currently a student at the University of Ottawa and completed her co-op placement with the EqHS Lab as a Grade 12 student at Gloucester High School. Growing up in Toronto ON, she was always surrounded by a lot of diversity especially in the healthcare system. After moving away from Toronto in 2022, she became more appreciative of the diversity that she was exposed to when she was there. Lara realized that a lack of diversity is a pathway for racism, homophobia/transphobia, ableism, and even misogyny. Being passionate about who she is and what she believes in has allowed her to never be afraid of a challenge. The opportunity to work with Dr. Jerry Maniate, will hopefully inspire younger individuals of all races and genders to enter the field of healthcare.
