What is a little known fact about you?

 

I’m fascinated by vintage motorcycles! I learned basic mechanics by working on a 1977 KZ1000 with my father. I love getting my hands dirty, dealing with mechanical problems, and then hitting the open road once all the work is done! 

 

Why do you make a great Schulich Leader?

 

Schulich Leaders are characterized not only by their ability to innovate and find solutions to the problems they encounter daily, but also in how they conduct themselves professionally and with humility. What makes me a great Schulich Leader is my ability to move past the “What’s in it for me?” attitude and create a mindset that focuses on solving problems and accomplishing goals collectively.
