Leadership in Third Year
Nature’s Path Foods Sales Intern
- Was told about the position by my friend and applied on a whim
- Felt nice to put myself out there, did not expect to get the position and thought it would be good practice for internship applications that would occur later in the year
- Ended up getting the position and was very excited to have a job for a company that aligned with a lot of my values (sustainability, community giveback)
- This position allowed me to develop my professional skills and gave me more confidence
Founding the DeGroote Pride Association
- Was a doozy of an experience with many ups and downs
- Very good learning experience that tested my perseverance and professionalism
Being President of DeGroote Pride Association
- Great experience in leading a team and learning from that team while coordinating many different tasks with many different goals
- Lots of adjusting needed to happen with quick thinking skills because things rarely went as planned
- Gave opportunities to navigate sensitive situations and do the unexpected/unconventional in the name of fighting heteronormativity and homophobia
