My name is Zach Donaldson-Hall, and I am from Vancouver, British Columbia. I made the difficult decision to move across the country to Toronto last August having been accepted to the Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing. I previously attended the University of British Columbia in the Okanagan where I was an active member of the varsity community, having played for the men’s soccer team. As an athletic community we organized various services, camps, fundraisers and food-drives for the youth and families suffering from economic hardships. It was an exciting time as we collaborated with one another as a supportive group of students from a variety of programs and teams forming a large family with the best interest of our athletic and academic community at heart. I enjoy working together with others as a team and have always been driven to help others. In my last two years, I became a teaching assistant in Immunology and Anatomy & Physiology. It was through assisting first year nursing students in the laboratory component of their program, that I decided that nursing was the route I wanted to pursue in the future.
