Chris grew up and went to school in Prince George and would like to be
part of bringing an educational program like Geneskool North to his
local schools – Sacred Heart Elementary School and Duchess Park
Secondary School - for the first time. Chris volunteered at the
hospital as a junior volunteer who visited geriatric patients for 4
years; as well, he coached a group of young pre-competitive gymnasts
for a year. He really enjoyed working with youth and would like to
continue volunteering with youth around PG in an area that he has a
passion for. His hobbies include being a competitive gymnast and a very
amateur photographer. Chris has done cancer research with Dr. Chow Lee
at UNBC and he has a variety of laboratory experiences.
