ArtsPond is delighted to welcome three new faces to our team! Monique Cheung, Natasha Iqbal, and Rachel Vrecic are undergraduate students from the University of Toronto and Ryerson University. They each join us for a Fall-Winter internship to apply their skills in a real-world setting. You will be hearing from these leaders of tomorrow in the near future!
Monique Cheung is currently in her third-year undergraduate at the University of Toronto, double majoring in Urban Studies and Human Geography. Originally a Chemistry and Physics student, the possibility of being able to put her opinions and creativity into her work as opposed to focusing on formulas entranced her into pursuing a degree in the Arts and Social Sciences. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring art through painting, typography and music, spending time outdoors on hikes, or reading a book in a cozy coffee shop. Monique’s is supporting ArtsPond and Groundstory’s applied research activities on the effects of gentrification on the arts. Monique can be reached at monique@artspond.com.
Natasha Iqbal is currently in her fourth-year undergraduate in the Creative Industries program at Ryerson University. With a focus on professional communication, she is interested in sharing creative ideas and collaborating with others. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring creativity through writing and reading.
