Why do you think you make a great Schulich Leader? 

 

I believe that the essence of being a Schulich Leader is refusing to suppress your aspirations—especially your academic and innovative ones. I’m not afraid to approach a problem in an unconventional manner, and am passionate about matching my talents with the complex challenges of the future. Whether it’s in academics, projects, or extracurricular activities, I thoroughly enjoy striving for excellence while finding a way to make it relevant to the world around us.
