Keva Garg was a senior high school student at the University of Toronto Schools. Her friends and colleagues would describe her as sunny, humble, and mature beyond her years. She thrived in the face of challenge and was capable of handling the demands of her academic career along with her extracurricular pursuits, all while maintaining a contagious enthusiasm and an affable disposition. Keva loved basketball, volunteering, singing, art, dancing, and writing. Her life goal was to make laughter out of laughter and bring happiness to everyone around her. Among the many paintings she created, one of her favourites is titled, “The Noblest Art is That of Making Others Happy”.

Keva had an entrepreneurial mindset, establishing StreetClear and Vision Care20 during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, Keva was determined to pursue a career in medicine. In 2020, she first got involved with HOSA and began research work under the mentorship of Dr. Ding Yan Wang at Mount Sinai Hospital. Keva wrote two research papers under her guidance. Her second paper was presented on July 2, 2022 at the SLAP conference.

Keva joined the HOSA Canada team as a Competitive Events Planner in 2021. She was incredibly proud to be a part of the HOSA Canada team and passionate about the opportunity to help other young adults achieve their goals in the health field.
