I like the idea of Katalis, being from a rough immigrant background myself I can relate to the numerous difficulties and challenges that face underprivileged students face I have tutored before and I truly enjoyed it, It feels good to make a difference and to help improve the lives of future generations.
GoalsPursue graduate studies in Mathematical Physics and enter academia.
Katalis to me is a chance to share what I've learned and experienced to those that weren't offered the same opportunities as me. That's why I'm in international haha
GoalsWork in Rocketry
I care about Katalis, because I care about people being able to have access to education.
GoalsI would like to do research in a space related field

Public Relations, Cell and Molecular BiologyThe idea of helping people have always been important to me, and being able to help people that are actually in need of our help is even more meaningful and powerful for me! So being able to help numerous people understand and discover everything the STEM field has to offer us, is actually an honour and I’m glad Katalis helps us achieve this goal.
GoalsGraduate and finally work in the research fields i’ve been wanting to do. Finding solutions to cure diseases and all !
Rinrada Puntuleng
VP Finance & Local Outreach Member, BiologyIt all started when my friend from Katalis asked me to help in advertising events in the first year of Katalis. I have learned about Katalis’ main goals in helping and giving the right tools for the underrepresented groups to get more opportunities in pursuing their dream in the STEM field. Therefore I joined Katalis to help the organization expand its network and reach out to more and more people for many years to come.
get a bachelor in Biology, pursue career/ future research in the wildlife field, and give something purposeful to others.
Stephen Haney Hernandez
VP International Admin, BiochemistryI wanted to contribute to the in-need community in Montreal however possible.
GoalsTo become a researcher in the field of genetics
Under-representation is a major issue in this field as many of us have never had the chance to see people that look like us in this field. Hopefully, this project can tackle some of that issue in Montreal before I tackle the world.
GoalsGet my MSc in Astrophysics and Communications to become a public figure for the promotion of science for under-represented groups
The project seemed very interesting and it ended up being better than my wildest expectations
GoalsWork in Healthcare
Katalis’ goals of helping minorities and marginalized groups gain access to the STEM field in order to reduce inequality around the world aligns with my own values and beliefs. Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful tool you can use to change the world “and as someone who was given the opportunity to receive a valuable education, I wish to give back and help others who were not as fortunate. Katalis gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge, time and passion for science all while helping me grow, gain life changing experiences and, most importantly, change the world.
Goals
Completing my bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and later pursue a career in research
An underlying issue that exists within the world is the inequality between developed countries and under-developed countries. I believe that this margin can be diminished by helping out marginalized communities by giving them the “tools”, here STEM, to give them a more equal opportunity.
Goals
Get a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and pursue a career in the domain of aerospace in the US
Everything started with a night call from a friend; ‘Do you want to go to Haiti in 10 days?’ I had the chance to participate in the first international trip and I fell in love with the main goal of Katalis. Katalis gave me the opportunity to share my knowledge and apply my skills during a lifetime experience. Education is the most powerful fuel to improve life conditions and I believe the young generation needs to be inspired in order to discover the wonders of STEM. I aim to extend the goal of Katalis to the Indigenous communities around Montréal area, too.
Completing my bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and my commercial pilot license in order to become a test pilot.
