Aiza Mubashir
Co-President 

My name is Aiza and I am a Grade 11 student at Uhill Secondary. For as long as I can remember, I have always been curious about how science shapes our lives and how we can apply it in various situations. The complexity of science is what drives my passion for it. I'm especially interested in chemistry, biology, and medicine. In my spare time, I enjoy baking sweet treats for my friends, going on a run, and crocheting. I'm thrilled to be part of an amazing organization which empowers women in stem!

Mercedes Gemmell
Co-President 

Operating Director

Hello! My name is Mercedes and I am a grade 11 student at Uhill. I love science especially chemistry and hope to become some sort of doctor someday. In my free time I love singing, playing violin, reading, and walking in the forest. I am excited to learn more about STEM with you all this year!

Aurora Guan-Mei
Vice-President

Communications Director

My name is Aurora, a grade 11 student in University Hill Secondary and I am honoured to be apart of the Lovelace team this year! Throughout my life, I have discovered a deep passion and interest for science. It is a field full of nuance, complexity, and discipline that I am inspired by. I've always had an appreciation for its way to connect all of us together. In my case, I am most interested in the varying fields of biology, immunology, and the multidisciplinary field of healthcare sciences. I am so excited to work alongside my peers and promote equity in the STEM field by advocating for the importance of women in STEM. In my free time, I enjoy curating my next piece of writing, singing, and spending time with loved ones.

Tetiaka Ibrahim
Secretary

I am Tetiaka, commonly known by all as Tt. I am currently a Grade 11 student at Uhill Secondary. I love learning languages, deep talks, writing, listening to songs in foreign languages, reading (to some extent), asking thought-provoking questions whenever I'm unsure of complex topics, and anything science-related, especially biology. One thing I'm proud of is my love for learning new things. I'm always curious about how the world works, from Earth and beyond. Being part of this impactful organization is more than I could ever ask for, as I can contribute to a meaningful cause in my own little way.

After High School: University of Toronto
My name is Alina and I’m grade 11 at UHill secondary. When I’m not busy baking or reading, I enjoy spending time with my friends. For several years now, I’ve been marvelled by the ins and outs of science, especially chemistry and geology. As one of the presidents of the club, I’m so happy and proud to be able to share this experience to self-identifying girls with similar interests of mine!

Nupur Nandha
Vice-President (2022-2024)

After High School: University of British Columbia
I am Nupur and I'm a 12th-grade student at UHill. My classes of interest are theatre and biology. Acting is one of my passions as it allows me to express many different emotions throughout a scene. I also enjoy attending seminars that describe what the various health professions entail. We must speak out given that healthcare access is often restricted, especially for women in other countries. I'm glad that I can encourage the next generation to pursue STEM fields as well as provide a voice in the field.
