Portrait of Sarah Laboun

Hi, I’m Sarah

Fourth-year Biomedical Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University and a member of the Dean’s List. I love work where hardware meets health, where engineering can bring a smile to someone’s face by helping and advancing their care. That’s been an ambition of mine for a long time, one I’ve pursued through volunteering and involvement with several charities in the field.

I have background in manufacturing instrumentation and process optimization from P&G. I worked on production data analysis, system characterization, and detection optimization. Combined with my research in signal processing and biomedical systems, I have hands-on experience spanning both manufacturing systems and medical device development.
