About
I’m Jad Kanaan, a senior Biology major on the pre-med track, graduating in Spring 2027.
Alongside my coursework, I serve as President and Coordinator of TrEd, where I also coordinate the Writing Subteam. These roles have given me the chance to lead, organize, and work closely with a team toward shared goals.
I also tutor, helping students build understanding and confidence in their coursework rather than just getting through it.
