I'm a value-inputter. Throughout my experiences, I've sought to redefine every role I've held by championing innovation in everything I do. I relish creative problem-solving, but at the same time have been raised with a strong foundation for analytical thinking. Possessing strong interpersonal skills, my passion lies with building connections and figuring out what drives people. I am a student at McGill University pursuing a double major in Economics and Int. Development, with a minor in IR. McGill's environment has exposed me to different cultures, languages and people, providing me with a rare set of perspectives crucial to a young mind. An example was my work with the McGill Model United Nations Assembly (McMUN), the second-largest MUN conference in NA, which attracted over delegates from all around the world. I was the youngest member of a member Secretariat, dedicated to building an international forum of diplomacy. Moreover, I have always endeavoured to lead. Before university, I Co-Founded the youth initiative 'CanYouth' an online medium for youth expression. Last year, CanYouth reached a milestone, in it's adoption by the York Region President's Council, a school board overseeing , students. To further develop my leadership, I also spoke at a TEDx conference in , delivering a talk titled "The Plight of Success." Extremely passionate about entrepreneurship and disruptive tech start-ups, I have worked at Kira Talent, a Next Venture based out of Toronto for my past summers. In my capacity as a Biz Dev intern, I witnessed the company blossom from a single idea, into one of Canada's Top Emerging Tech Companies. It is open-mindedness and diligence that have blessed me with a wealth of opportunities that I'm thankful for. I embrace my past, but as a forward-thinker it is the future that excites me the future of constant learning through new opportunities. This is my story let's connect and talk about yours.
