Hi my name is
My Ethos:
"The best is yet to come"
I am the eldest of three and the first in my family to graduate post-secondary. My parents are immigrants and have given me everything they could to succeed. So, recognizing my privilege I aspire to do everything in my power to help others get the tools they need to succeed.
My motivation comes from the belief that anything is possible. I aspire to show others that they can live without fear of limits. This is what fuels me every morning, and drives my ultimate goal to help as many people as I can.

Cineplex

What did I do? Cineplex is probably the best part-time job I could've asked for purely because of how many different things I got to do. In my time there I did everything from taking orders, cleaning theatres and transacting tickets to making gourmet popcorn, making pizzas and running the Starbucks.

What did I do? Everyone starts somewhere. I used to assemble all the week's flyers and deliver the newspaper to two streets. I also may have gotten in trouble for secretly hiring my younger siblings to help before my parents got home.
Favourite Moment: Sitting down in my first job interview ever two days after turning 10 years old with my mom an almost blank resume.
