Background

About Caitlin Lim

With a diverse background in lifeguarding, teaching, and leadership, I am committed to making a difference through my talents and skills. As an aspiring engineering student, I am always looking for new opportunities to explore different disciplines of STEM and collaborate on projects to make the world a better place. In co-founding and co-leading my school's Coding Club, along with my role as a Junior Instructor for UBC Geering Up Engineering Outreach, I have encouraged my younger peers to pursue STEM and become future engineers. These experiences have enhanced my leadership skills and solidified my knowledge of various STEM topics. As a Fellow at Shad Canada, I collaborated on a month-long design project and participated in lectures and workshops covering a variety of STEAM and business topics, including human biology and electrical engineering. Beyond my scientific endeavours, I've honed my communication and interpersonal skills through activities like Model UN, where I've excelled at debating and collaborating on international politics while promoting MUN to other students. Currently serving as a Lifeguard/Instructor at the City of Vancouver and the City of Richmond, I've learned to thrive under pressure and prioritize careful planning and training. Additionally, I am also a classically trained guitar player; I perform both classical pieces at recitals and in a band as the lead/rhythm guitarist in various settings. My passions lie in making a difference in my community with my unique skill set, and I'd love to connect with others to discuss anything. Let's connect!
