Alumna-of-the-Month –Daniella Guindi '03

alum of the month daniella guindi.jpgThroughout high school, Daniella Guindi, a graduate from the Class of ’03, always had a special interest in sciences.  As she explained, her love for learning began at Bialik, where her teachers really fostered her interest in health sciences. She wrote: “I still remember Mr. Kogut’s Biology class, where I learned the basics of human anatomy and physiology, and that’s just one of many memories.” In Grade 11, when it was time to apply to CEGEP, she knew she wanted to pursue the sciences. “At Bialik, I also learned about our Jewish history and values, which inspired me to play an active role in my community. I began to think about becoming a doctor so I could help other people, within my own community and beyond,” Daniella added.

Thanks to Bialik’s enriched curriculum, she excelled as a science student at Marianopolis, completed a Bachelor of Science at McGill and was accepted into medicine at McGill. She joined many fellow graduates who also chose a path in medicine/dentistry, including Amanda Ischayek ‘03, Lauren Katz ’03, Michael Roskies ’03, Barry Burstein ’03, Avi Saskin ’03, Samara Goldstein ’03, Jennifer Moscovitz ’04, Daniel Blum ’04, Samantha Sacks ’04, Daniel Abourbih ’02, Debbie Heilpern ’02, Lisa Dubrofsky ’06, and Robert Karanofsky ’04, among many others.

Daniella is proud to be a niece of award-winning JPPS teacher Rita Guindi (see article…) and wrote, “Today, I am in my 3rd year as a medical student and I haven’t forgotten where the foundation of my education began. We are all proud to have graduated from Bialik and we hope we continue to make our teachers and community proud.”
