Meet Jaashing — Supporting professional development for the VCHRI research community.

Q: What is your role in health research?
A:
I am the research education coordinator at VCHRI. In my role, I oversee all of the research education programs by facilitating activities and operations to offer education opportunities for VCHRI researchers. I also provide support with award and funding opportunities such as the Knowledge Translation Challenge and Research Challenge.

Q: What is the best part about your research job?
A:
Through coordinating the monthly Research Training Series, I have the opportunity to work with experts in different fields and learn from a variety of professionals that I may not otherwise have the chance to meet. On top of that, seeing the months of planning leading up to an event or workshop result in success is very fulfilling.

Q: What is your research area of interest?
A:
I am interested in rehabilitation and knowledge translation. Through my experience working on the Spinal Cord Injury Research Evidence (SCIRE) Project for SCIRE Community, I have learned that making research accessible and understandable to those living with spinal cord injury is crucial to help improve their quality of life.

Q: How do you unwind at the end of the day?
A:
I love watching the sunset, either with friends or on my own. In the warmer months, I enjoy relaxing on the beach watching the sky change colours as the sun goes down. 

Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?
A:
I have not seen my family in China since before the COVID-19 pandemic, so I would love to visit again soon. I also want to explore Japan and South Korea and try all the delicious food!

Q: What is your favourite TV show?
A:
I love watching Korean dramas, my favourite of which is Goblin. It has a very interesting concept and some scenes were filmed in Montreal. If you don’t mind reading subtitles, I would definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Q: Who motivates and inspires you?
A:
Being able to work alongside fellow students from all academic backgrounds is deeply empowering as we get to challenge each other, celebrate our achievements and reach our goals together. I can see the impact that we, as the next generation, will have on the world and it motivates me to keep going.

Jaashing He is currently the research education coordinator at VCHRI. She is pursuing an undergraduate degree in physiology, neuroscience and kinesiology at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Born in Ottawa and raised in Vancouver, she is part of the inaugural class of Beedie Luminaries. Jaashing completed the Science One program at UBC during her first year, and since then has worked in Dr. Janice Eng’s lab with the Rehabilitation Research Program under the supervision of Dr. Dominik Zbogar on the SCIRE Project.
