His study tip
The ideal study method varies by course and by student, so I encourage students to try a variety of techniques. I found that gamification through scored flashcards worked best for me. It also helped to have academically inclined friends who were as competitive as I was.
His most memorable experience at Concordia
Winning ConUHacks for the second year in a row. Not much can beat the feeling of spending the night with my closest friends, trying desperately not to fall asleep and building something we could be proud of. I owe a lot to my friend Vinisha for helping make our ConUHacks wins possible.
His favorite part of the program
The people. I am beyond proud to be part of my cohort, and there is no other group of people I would have wanted to sit with at our graduation ceremony.
His next major goal
I honestly do not know. I want to excel at my new job, but excellence without direction is not worth much. I want to find a way to connect with people and help them. Only then can I leave this world a better place than I found it.
