Class of 2022, Masters in Ergonomics, UQAMErgonomics is a little-known field. When people ask me what it is, I tell them that I try to improve people’s working conditions by analyzing their work situations to better understand what they do and suggest changes. These changes can help workers be healthier and more productive. One could also say that it involves adapting the work to the worker, rather than the other way around.
Showing off a poster I made for the final presentation of my Master's
in ErgonomicsAs I entered my thirties, I began to think more and more about the impact my life would have in the world and the kind of contribution I would like to make to society. We spend a large part of our lives working, and ergonomists work to make workers' lives easier. Through this career, I have the opportunity to help people in their everyday lives, and I really enjoy this mission.
