ABOUT MUHAMMAD ANSAR
As a McCall MacBain Regional Award (2024) and COVID-19 Student Engagement Award (20••••21) recipient, I completed my honors Bachelors of Science (HBSc) with High Distinction at the University of Toronto where I double majored in neuroscience and psychology, with a minor in biology. Passionate about bridging the gap between science and real-life health problems within the community, I am currently pursuing a Master of Health Science (MHSc) in Translational Research at the University of Toronto. Outside of academics, I am skilled in project management, conflict resolution, strategic planning, program design, facilitation, mentorship, and community development. I have led massive teams and organized 35+ community events, managed over $80k in budget/revenue, acquired in funding through grant writing and partnerships, and have 5+ years of experience in the non-profit sector. My community leadership was also recently recognized by both the University of Toronto faculty and the student body through a Campus Life Letter Award (2024) and Student\'s Choice Award (2024), respectively.I am a Rising Youth Program (20••••22) and Sprout Ideas Fellowship (20••••24) alumnus, which are currently home to over and 120 community leaders respectively, and was also nominated to attend the 2023 United Nations COP28 Conference in Dubai from a pool of over 100 youth social innovators. I have been recognized at municipal, provincial, and national levels for my community engagement, recently received the Mississauga Civic Award of Engagement (2023) and was featured in Canada\'s National Observer (2023). With a strong passion for education equity and mental health awareness, I am a committed volunteer and currently serve as Co-Executive Director at Starts With One (SWO) Canada, a federally incorporated not-for-profit that has provided hours and worth of free tutoring to 200+ low income, immigrant and refugee students since 2020. I also co-founded Human Nature Projects Canada, an environmental not-for-profit, that has involved youth in environmental education, protection, conservation, and restoration across the globe.I am open to collaborations and opportunities and would love to connect!
