Bio

Hi, my name is Mirsab Arif, I'm a student at McMaster University who is currently in their 3rd year of the Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences program with a specialization in Electrical and Biomedical engineering. I am currently working as a Tutor at YorkRegion Tutoring approaching two years of experience, in addition to my full time role with the University itself as a Program Support Assistant under the Writing and Academic Skills department. My primary focus is on data-analysis and management but I do have a background with 3D-modelling, printing, electrical circuitry and micro controllers.

I will be working at Toronto Hydro in 2025-26 term as a Meter Data Management Technical Student as well! Feel free to reach out via LinkedIn or email at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirsabarif/ or m.k.arif@outlook.com

Indigenous Toponym Cataloguing

SquirrelRidge.org is seeking to develop a comprehensive catalogue of Indigenous toponyms found within a collection of archival primary sources. The goal of this project is to identify and document place names of Indigenous origin, which are often overlooked in historical records. This project will provide learners with the opportunity to apply their skills in archival research, data organization, and cultural studies. The team will work with a curated selection of scanned documents, focusing on extracting relevant toponyms and contextual information. By doing so, learners will contribute to the preservation and recognition of Indigenous cultural heritage. The project will enhance learners' understanding of Indigenous history and the importance of place names in cultural identity.
