Bio
Seerat Sahota graduated from the University of Alberta in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and Psychology, with Distinction. During her undergraduate studies, she explored a broad range of courses in both ecology and human behavior, developing a unique interdisciplinary lens. Her interest in sustainability deepened as she began to observe the far-reaching impacts of climate change in domains not traditionally associated with environmental issues.
Recognizing a disconnect between academic research and real-world action, Seerat became motivated to explore how biological science and psychology could be integrated to bridge this gap. She is particularly interested in developing practical strategies that apply scientific research to influence behavior, inform policy, and foster more sustainable systems.
Professionally, Seerat brings a strong set of transferable skills. As a store associate at TJX Canada, she built strong interpersonal and customer service skills, thriving in fast-paced, team-based environments. Her ability to multitask and maintain attention to detail allowed her to consistently deliver high-quality service. In her role as an administrative assistant, she further developed her organizational and communication abilities—managing scheduling, documentation, and client interactions with professionalism and adaptability. These experiences also enriched her understanding of consumer behavior and urban systems.
Seerat offers a practical, people-centered perspective and a strong ability to apply scientific insight to everyday contexts.
In her free time, she enjoys calisthenics, yoga, dance, writing poetry, and journaling.
