New Members Join D.studio Team

The d.studio welcomes two new additions to its team: Florin Gheorghe and Veronique West.

Florin Gheorghe is the Teaching Assistant for the d.studio course. He is in the first year of a Masters in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, and juggles interests in healthcare innovation, creativity, and international development. In his BASc, also at UBC, Florin spent eight months in Ghana running a start-up, non-profit manufacturing company that connected dollar-a-day mechanics with multinational mining companies. Today, Florin spends most of his time (when not TA-ing) in scrubs and latex gloves, observing surgeons in their natural habitat, and trying to find disruptive solutions to health care challenges around the world.

Veronique West is the second Communications Officer for the d.studio. She is writing, editing and publishing updates and articles for the studio’s website, producing copy for its communications products, and managing its social media presence and other related media. She is currently a first-year UBC student in the Arts One interdisciplinary program. She plans to major in Creative Writing with a particular focus on playwriting. In her spare time she writes online articles and helps assimilate archival data for Prism Literary Magazine, while developing an original play, Intrusion, for the 2012 Vancouver Fringe Festival. Her work with the d.studio allows her to hone and apply her professional writing and media skills while contributing to her school’s diverse ecology.

These passionate students are thrilled to join as new and exciting an initiative as the d.studio, and we look forward to the contributions they will make to the program.
