Meet Sarah Chae, Faculty of Health Sciences Honours student pursuing her Bachelor of Sciences in the Public Health and Data stream. She is also a Kinesiology Minor, currently doing an honors thesis with BC Cancer. Chae recently completed four Co-op work terms and will be awarded a Co-operative Education degree designation. We interviewed Chae to learn more about her Co-op journey.
Chae joined Co-op in Fall 2020, in aims to integrate her academics to a work opportunity, with a specific goal to get research exposure. She completed her first Co-op with the UBC division of respiratory medicine as a Research Assistant. One of the highlights of this opportunity was leading a focus group study and later presenting her findings at a nationwide conference.
