Volunteering

Volunteering#

Outside of strictly work endeavours I like to put aside time to give back to communities and causes. This is mostly in the form of mentorship (formal or informal) and playing music for charity.

Mentorship#

UofT Arts & Sciences Mentorship Program

I have been a mentor with the UofT Physics Mentorship program since 2014. This has been a very rewarding way to engage with current students and share perspective on life outside of academia, particularly for students considering a move outside of traditional or expect career paths.

Charity Work#

There are a number of great organizations I work with on an annual basis, typically through fundraising and performing live music:

  • ABC for SickKids

  • CANFAR - AIDSbeat

  • March of Dimes - Rock for Dimes

  • CIBC Run for the Cure

  • Big Brothers Big Sisters of York

  • CIBC Rock for LIFE

  • AUSUM Charity for Autism

  • Raising the Roof - Sounds of the 6ix

If you ever need a sax player for a show, let me know!
