Sofia Karter

Sofia is an Engineering Science student going into her third year specializing in Biomedical Systems Engineering. Although her desires are to succeed in the Biomedical Industry, she has thoughts of going into academia through research or teaching someday.  Sofia has a passion for “Engineering for the World” and believes that a huge impact can be made implementing basic technology in the places that need it most. In previous years, she led a group of students installing solar panels in rural communities, and is currently a project coordinator at the EWB Sustainability and Environmental Justice Portfolio. In these projects she has learned skills in graphic design, video editing, and project management. These skills, along with her interest for teaching, led her to seek a position at the EdTech Office, and she will be joining us this summer as a Co-op Online Learning Assistant.

Sofia looks forward to learning more about the world “behind the curtains” and hopes to make a positive contribution to the experience of professors teaching online at UofT. She loves lending a hand when needed and being able to support professors in creating and managing their courses is something she looks forward to.
