Past Featured Members

This National Student Committee (NSC) initiative started in 2019, aiming to promote ergonomics to students by gathering ACE member insights. Profiles are generated to answer often asked questions which includes

the member's ergonomics experience
why they enjoy the occupation
advice with regards to coursework/experiences
the opportunity to share things that they believe are important on the job

Members selected typically play a key role in promoting ergonomics to students and therefore, are selected by NSC members (student volunteers), who identify members that played a pivotal role in their current interest/work/studies in ergonomics. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the NSC at ace.student.mentorship@gmail.com

Below, you'll find profiles of some of our members, each with their own unique story and contributions.

I still consider myself a young professional starting in ergonomics but if I had to tell myself anything a year ago it would be to say yes whenever you can. Ergonomics is a small community so getting involved in committees and volunteer groups can do great things for you professionally. Being involved in the ergonomics communities across North America has allowed me to foster a great group of connections that have helped me grow as an ergonomist – from career planning to reminding me to get my force gauge calibrated! Lastly, what we do and the education and experience we must achieve to do what we do is no small feat. Knowing you have made it this far should be enough to know you can make it the rest of the way.
