NeuroNexus is a series of events structured around a 6-week interdisciplinary neurotechnology design competition. The year before I joined the administrative team, NeuroNexus was an initial pilot of the program (2019), taking place locally in Calgary, Alberta.

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, which lead to the initial cancellation of NeuroNexus 2020, as the sole Director in Edmonton I personally ensured the competition was successfully brought to the capital of Alberta. 

My day-to-day involved leading a team of 6 volunteers in the recruitment of undergraduate and graduate university students as innovators for the competition. Additionally, I engaged with experts from industry, academia, and medicine, for the recruitment of real-world problems that can be solved by innovations in the neurotechnology space.
