These experiences have helped him develop stronger empathy and communication skills, while fuelling his curiosity about the neural basis of cognition and emotion. Amir also took on a leadership role as tour program coordinator at Trinity, supervising student tour guides, and serves as treasurer of the U of T BioEntrepreneurship Network.
