2020 Henry Baker Scholarship Recipents

Congratulations to the 2020 Henry Baker Scholarship recipients! 

Kyla Thies

Kyla loves curling. She instructed young people to curl at two curling clubs prior to taking on the role as Head Coordinator for Curl for Kids at the Highland Curling Club. Kyla was acknowledged with an award at the end of high school for her efforts to promote curling and was recognized for her community involvement. She competes provincially, at the university level and hopes one day to compete nationally. She is enrolled in the Faculty of Business with the goal of also attaining a degree in Law.

Syed Basheer Syed Farook

Raised by a single mother who was a social worker, and with a degree in nursing, Syed’s goal is to help others through research. His goal is to help others here and around the world through researching an advanced method of carbon dioxide capture. Specifically, this research would reduce the regeneration energy at the regenerator by using freshwater as a medium to recover heat from the hot flue gas in the steam cyclic process and combination of solvents. This process will affect the operating costs and capital costs by more than 62 per cent. He has volunteered at U of R open houses, science fairs days to assist engineering students, and at his church.

Karlee Cooper

A graduate of Michael A. Riffel Catholic High School, Karlee took part in many school activities including student council, volleyball, drama and improv. However, it was her school involvement with the That’s Possible Theatre, Best Buddies, Special Olympics Basketball and her community involvement with the Sask Abilities Council, that helped determine her future direction to certify as a special education teacher.  

Jeslyn Mitchell

Having graduated from Archbishop O’Neill, Jeslyn is now enrolled in the early childhood program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. Her long-term goal is to be a director of a daycare. With children always being her focus, she has volunteered through her church and community including vacation bible camps and retreats. She has found volunteering at the Salvation Army to be a real reward and holding a leadership role in her high school to have helped pave a career path.

Kelly Kay

Kelly graduated from Maryfield School. Her long history of volunteering in and around her hometown has helped build self-confidence, self-esteem and provide a sense of pride and accomplishment. She has competed in curling, winning two provincial titles, and nationally. Kelly has chosen to begin her pursuit of nursing in the Practical Nursing Program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic and would ultimately like to enroll in the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program.

Crystal Giesbrecht

She is currently enrolled in a PhD program in Justice Studies with research focused on the perpetrators of intimate partner violence (domestic violence). Currently, there is a lack of literature on effective treatment of perpetrators. However, with increased knowledge comes better public policy. That’s why Crystal has provided public education, training, policy analysis and committee work within our province. She has volunteered with provincial transition houses, Regina’s Community Partnership Against Violence, and with Amnesty International. As a registered social worker, she also volunteers with the Provincial Association of Social Workers Ethics Committee. She also partakes in Search and Rescue Regina.

Sarah Labadie

Sarah graduated from and was president of Thom Collegiate, where she led a fundraiser resulting in $8,000 going to the Allan Blair Cancer Centre. She competes in roller derby, twice on the national team. She helps a boys’ basketball team, performs in a local theatre company and is an activist for child abuse awareness and prevention. Sarah holds two part-time jobs and challenged the 5 AP exams. Her career goal is to become a teacher, as well as establish education about child abuse prevention. She is also interested in becoming involved in politics.  

Ashton Sies

This aspiring medical doctor has been heavily involved in many activities. He coaches junior boys’ high school basketball and is on the executive of the Biology Undergraduate and Graduate Society. Through part-time employment, he has also become involved in the Movember organization, Mitochondrial Disease research and events for Men’s mental health and wellness. Despite his workload and commitments, he also received a research grant from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Elizabeth Ingrid Primitivo

Born in the Philippines, Elizabeth’s family chose Regina to be their home in 2008. As a graduate of Harvest City Christian Academy, she learned about volunteering. Her focus has been at the public library - being a reading buddy in both French and English and repairing children’s books. She is a Royal Canadian Air Cadet - the only female Warrant Officer Second Class - a role model for others. She has taken part in Toastmasters training and was a leader in her school council. Elizabeth wishes to become a forensic scientist and has taken online courses in forensics to test her aspirations.

Amy Richter

Amy is a PhD student who has co-authored 32 journal and conference papers. Her interest is in reducing the amount of money spent collecting and transporting waste. She received her undergraduate and master’s degrees from the U of R. She has served as a sessional lab instructor, a judge in regional and Canada-wide science fairs and worked with high school students, especially young women, encouraging them to pursue science, technology, engineering and math. Just for fun, in 2019, she cycled over 10,000 km, mostly on our city pathway system.

Tyler Kostron

Tyler graduated from the Regina Christian School and spent a gap year in Australia along the Gold Coast performing missionary work. Aside from taking part in six sports in high school, he competed nationally in judo and coached young athletes. In addition to volunteering with his church, he also worked at a polling station for the 2019 federal election. His career goal is to become a doctor, perhaps working with Doctors Without Borders.

Annalisa Raho

Anna Lisa has used her background and talent in design to assist organizations such as the Globe Theatre, Regina Women’s Network, Regina Musical Club, Briarpatch Magazine, the Regina Open Door Society and SOFIA House. This mother of two is in her second year of the PhD programs in Interdisciplinary Studies - Media, Art and Performance. She understands the importance of sharing experiences and supporting people around us. That’s why she is currently studying COVID-19 with the goals of showing different aspects in an accessible way to change people’s approach and reaction to the virus. Ultimately, the hope is to build a stronger community.

Deanna Aubichon

Deanna is enrolled in the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP) at Gabriel Dumont. Her goal is to become an elementary school teacher in Regina. She would like to use her Métis background to provide insight into Indigenous ways of knowing and teaching. She is also passionate about advancing reconciliation within our province. Deanna has volunteered with Souls Harbour Rescue Mission, Street Culture Project, WISH Safe House and White Pony Lodge.

Fasil Tekeste

Fasil is a graduate of Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School and wishes to become a pharmacist and own his own pharmacy. Soccer is a first love. Becoming a soccer official has allowed him to give back to the sport and community plus earn a little income - all the while keeping fit. His older siblings, who are also in post-secondary studies, are his role models, helping teach him to balance work with activity, family and academia. His mother is a source of strength -- one who installs in him a strong school and work commitment.

Kyle Bye

Kyle has been active in his hometown of Manor, Saskatchewan and surrounding communities, volunteering in nursing homes, playing Santa and acting in Cornerstone Theatre. At the U of R, he has become involved in the JDC West Program. Kyle wishes to major in accounting and receive a Certificate in Economics, with the end desire to be a CPA. He finds Regina, like his hometown, a welcoming and caring place.

Shalaine Sackman

A committed student, Shalaine is working on two degrees simultaneously: Psychology and a Honours in Philosophy. Her goal is a PhD in Clinical Psychology, with a specialty in trauma-related disorders and vulnerable populations. Involvements include the Psychology Students Association, UR Pride Centre and volunteering with the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. She is also the Vice-Chair of the City of Regina Accessibility Committee.

Billea Ahlgrim

Engaged in the university community, this PhD student has conducted topical research that has not been done in a Canadian context. Specifically, it is to research and apply concepts to issues such as counter terrorism, cybercrime and human trafficking and investigate the implicit bias and police officer decision making - in the Canadian context. In addition to being a U of R teaching assistant, Billea also works with the RCMP as a research assistant.
