Background

About Jake Mendonca

I was born and went to high school in London, Ontario. I moved to Windsor for my bachelor degree in Biomedical and Biochemistry. I enjoy being involved in my community, working with the public and I enjoy working in medical fields that is shown in my volunteering at the Villages of St. Clair. I work very well in a team environment as well as independently when given a task. This is shown in my work at Storybook Gardens as Team Lead and as a Play Leader also as Concessions staff. I am currently still employed at Storybook and volunteer at The villages of St. Clair where I continue in the Java mentorship program. I enjoy getting involved in my community as I get to offer my services to people that need it and I can actually make an impact on someone’s day to day life. I enjoy all the work I have done at Storybook Gardens because it gave me a chance to make an impact on someone in a meaningful way and can give them and their family a memorable day at the park. As I mentioned, I have a strong passion for making my community a better place and striving to make positive impacts where I can. I have worked in medical related fields for the past year. This opportunity has allowed me to improve on my leadership and communication skills while allowing me to get a sense of what working as a physician would look like. Upon graduating from my undergraduate bachelors degree I have applied to numerous medical schools around Canada and the USA which has been my goal since the start of high school.
