Meet Sam, a 22-year-old Health Informatics student at the University of Waterloo. Having navigated the co-op process with a mix of anxiety and optimism, Sam started their first co-op as an admission assistant, a role they initially deemed a fallback. However, they embraced the experience, learning invaluable skills that later helped them secure their dream position in a health information organization. Driven by a passion for healthcare and technology, Sam loves sharing insights with fellow students, encouraging them to see the hidden opportunities within every co-op experience. When not studying or working, Sam enjoys hiking in the lush trails around Waterloo, which serves as inspiration for their love of both nature and innovation.
