新加坡六合彩开奖直播

Kaitlyn Woodworth never wanted to just be a student with good grades. She also didn鈥檛 want to just be known as the girl who played on 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Women鈥檚 varsity soccer team. The 4^th year Chemical Engineering student wanted it all, and for a third year in a row, she鈥檚 achieved it all.

Today, Woodworth was honoured as a three-time Academic All-Canadian. The distinction is one of the highest recognitions a university athlete can achieve. It recognizes student-athletes who attain a GPA of 3.5 or higher while competing in a varsity sport.

For engineering students such as Woodworth who are often enrolled in at least six courses per semester, along with labs, tutorials and countless assignments, the achievement may seem unattainable. Woodworth says, it鈥檚 not.

鈥淚鈥檓 more productive when I鈥檓 busy. I can go to the extreme where it鈥檚 too much, but I function well when things are moving around me,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 definitely came into university with the mindset that this is going to be busy, so I need to stay on top of everything.鈥澨�

On and Off the Field

A striker for the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Women鈥檚 soccer team, Woodworth says her busy schedule starts in August each year, with a full week of activities that include either games or practices almost every day into November. During the off-season, her team is on the field or in the gym 5 to 6 days a week.

Yet somehow over the years, the Bridgewater native has also found time in her schedule to participate on the University鈥檚 track and field team and participate in over five other extra-curricular activities including Jack.Org, the Dal Engineering Mental Health and Wellness听committee, and as a volunteer with the Ronald MacDonald House.

鈥淲hy not,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 enjoy being involved in the engineering community. My involvement in activities have made me feel a little bit more connected to everyone and that was really why I tried to get involved in the first place.鈥澨�

Along the way, she says her participation in organizations such as Jack.org have sparked new interests and passions in life.

鈥淚鈥檓 now more engaged in the mental health space. I try and voice my opinion and help better connect and educate myself and others whenever possible.鈥澨�

Future Goals

Her time as a chemical engineering student and a varsity athlete has also helped her figure out what she might do with her degree once she graduates next year.

鈥淎t the moment I hope to pursue a graduate degree in Biomedical Engineering.鈥�

Currently enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering鈥檚 Certificate of Biomedical Engineering, Woodworth says she鈥檇 always had an interest in medicine, but was never quite sure how it intertwined with engineering.

鈥淚 am an athlete and have been around injuries,鈥� she adds. 鈥淢y rehabilitation experiences have led me to become interested in the various applications of biomedical engineering.鈥�

Within the Faculty of Engineering, students interested in pursuing a career in Biomedical Engineering can enroll in the Certificate of Biomedical Engineering. Beginning in their third year of engineering, students in chemical, mechanical, electrical or industrial engineering can complete the program concurrently with their undergraduate degree.

Woodworth says the program has allowed her to explore many different areas of Biomedical Engineering, while also learning about how fields such as biology and medicine interconnect with areas such as engineering, math and physics.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really interesting how you can apply a skill set of engineering problem solving to these biological focused applications.鈥�

Woodworth says she feels lucky to have come to 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, to have had the opportunity to actively take part in the engineering community, and to have enrolled in a degree program that鈥檚 opened new career ambitions. All of this while also having the chance to play varsity soccer.

鈥淥ne of the reasons I ended up coming to Dal was my coach made it clear to me that I would be able to prioritize my academics, because that was my number one priority, while also having the experience on the soccer team. So the two of them together just made for a perfect combination.鈥�
