“I’m deeply grateful to Headwaters Arts for recognizing my dedication to music with a scholarship in 2020. Receiving the scholarship made me feel supported in my aspiration to bridge art, science, and community in my post-secondary studies.
Since receiving the award, I’ve completed my undergraduate degree in Integrated Science at McMaster University. There, I researched how incorporating musical properties into the sound design of medical alarms can help healthcare workers better hear and interpret them, which has immense potential to make hospitals safer for patients. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Science Communication at Laurentian University, where, by drawing on both my arts and science backgrounds, I’m learning to create media that makes science accessible and impactful for diverse public audiences.
Headwaters Arts is a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers that present special arts events and showcases local and regional artists through the year in the Headwaters Arts Gallery in the Alton Mill Arts Centre located 1402 Queen Street West in Alton, Ontario.

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather, and on which the Region of Peel operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular we acknowledge the territory of the Ani-shinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
