Regular updates from students in TRIP

About Me! by Kayla Guevara

Hi! My name is Kayla Guevara, and I am currently a senior at Saint Basil Academy. In school I have participated in many different clubs including our school’s drama club, service club, All In Alliance, and I play the viola in my school’s String Ensemble. I am also my school’s senior student council treasurer! Outside of school I spend a lot of time with my family, which is very large. I am one of seven kids, which range in age from 1-21! I also take some college classes at Manor College. These have been a little challenging, but help me to get ahead of some college credits and also help me explore more educational opportunities. After I graduate from high school this spring, I intend to major in Biomedical Engineering, but I have not decided where I will do that yet.

I applied to TRIP because I have always been really interested in science and the different things you can do to help people through science and medicine. I was motivated to do this because my brother has Noonan Syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and is deaf. His journey in medicine and the work that has been done to help his health is very interesting to me, especially since so much of his condition is new to us and even some of the doctors we have encountered. In the future, I want to put my knowledge of science to good and help people in their medical journeys, just as the medical community has done for my family. 
​I am very glad that we are able to be in person for TRIP as being in the lab is very helpful for me to experience the different aspects of the lab that I haven’t been able to see before. I am hoping that it will help me to get a feel for the lab and get to know the different applications of science, especially with different things involving medicine. I have learned so much in the past weeks, and I cannot wait to start my independent project!

Hi Kayla. I love that you have a big family and that you want to go into science to pay homage to your brother. Your project sounds so interesting and I hope it went well!!
