What is a little known fact about you?

 

I absolutely love hockey. A pond in my backyard freezes over in the winter and makes for a great pick up game!

 

Why do you make a great Schulich Leader?

 

I believe that curiosity and passion are the driving forces in human beings. I also believe that I am innately curious, passionate, and driven, not only in the STEM field but in life and in my relationships. I want nothing more than to understand the world around me while impacting everyone and everything positively as I go.
