Isis Fernandes is an ambitious and compassionate student whose dream of becoming a surgeon is inspired by a promise she made to her late grandfather to make a difference in the world. She plans to study science at the University of British Columbia as a first step toward medical school and a surgical residency, with the goal of using her skills to improve lives through medicine.

A competitive swimmer since 2015, Isis has combined her love of sport with her commitment to mentorship. From 2022 to 2024, she served as a developmental swim coach, guiding swimmers aged 6–12 in building technical skills, fostering teamwork, and developing a passion for the sport. Her leadership has helped young athletes grow in both confidence and ability.

Driven by determination, empathy, and a strong sense of purpose, Isis aims to make a lasting impact in her community — both in healthcare and in the lives of those she mentors.
