Bio
Seyed Moghadas
I have known Katya since 2012 when she started her position as a professional coordinator at the Centre for Disease Modelling in York University. She has highly-sought after interpersonal skills and a strong work ethic with a dedication to success. She led a number of interdisciplinary and multi-institutional projects, organized several scientific workshops at the national level, and drafted successful grant proposals. With her vast experience and education in law, I believe she would excel in any executive position.
