My name is Josh Blake and I’m unique.
At least that’s what they told me to say in primary school whenever your identity was questioned. Ha ha. It’s okay, I’m quite happy with how unique I am.
I was born in ‘87 on some day in September. So that makes me a rabbit for all of you Chinese Calendar folk. I spent my childhood in Scarborough and my adolescence in Mississauga.
Right now, I’m a M.Sc. (probably a Ph.D.) candidate at the University of Toronto, where I study kidney development. I did my undergrad at the University of Guelph where I studied Biomedical Sciences and Molecular Biology & Genetics. Some day, amongst other things, I aspire to be a young and budding physician.
But what does that mean about me? Well, I love working with people, and have had the most rewarding times of my life working with people. It only makes sense that my career choice is to be with people. I suppose though that it goes beyond that. I like to help people too. I suppose it’s an obvious qualificication considering the nature of medicine. But really – I do like to help people.
I’m confident. Very much so actually. I know this about myself, so I use it as a very powerful tool and choose not to let it use me in situations where it’s to my detriment. Make sense? Kinda? It also dictates my sense of humor – I’m sharp witted. I laugh at my own jokes – that’s weird right?!
I’m single. Just thought I’d throw that one out there.
I live in Toronto in my pied a terre in the heart of the city.
I love it.
That’s it for now. I’d love to hear from you otherwise. Comments, suggestions, cute flirty sweet-nothings, etc., email me.
