Sarah Beydoun - President
Hey loves, I’m Sarah, I’ve started my Masters in Experimental Medicine, and I’m so glad I’m back for yet another year with Heart4Heart! In my first year of undergrad, I joined Heart4Heart because I wanted my efforts to change a child’s life! Five years later, I'm immensely grateful and proud to say I’ve played a significant role in creating a sense of community within Heart4Heart-ers on the McGill campus. In my free time, I teach my philanthropist cat how to do tricks. I come up with innovative fundraiser ideas (have you seen our rubber ducks?), and I debate unpopular opinions! I’m from Beirut, Lebanon, where all the best food comes from - you’re welcome 🙂 It’s such a delight to be working with the growing Heart4Heart team. Together, we’ll positively influence the McGill community and provide children with the opportunity to live long healthy lives.
