Why do you make a great Schulich Leader?

 

I believe that I will be a great Schulich Leader because I am genuinely curious.  Since a young age I have been known for asking many questions, always in an effort to learn.  I have also been very fortunate in my upbringing, having the support of my family and community. This has allowed me to become involved in various activities, giving me a breadth of experience.  Finally, I think that my humble character drives my desire to serve other people.  I hope to use all of these traits to help, and support society through the practice of innovative engineering.
