Arwa is a PhD student at the University of Toronto studying Immunology. She has volunteered with Jack.org as a Jack Talk speaker for the past 4 years because of her strong interest in mental health advocacy. She believes that facilitating conversations surrounding mental health is an important approach to reducing the stigma associated, and hopes to do so through her role as a Jack Talk speaker. When she's not advocating for mental health, Arwa loves to read novels, paint, and spend time with the people she adores most.
