CITE INVOLVEMENT What was the first ITE event you attended? My first proper ITE event was the ITE 2017 Annual Conference in Toronto where I competed for the first time in the Traffic Bowl. What is your ITE involvement (past and present)? I was the Ryerson ITE Student Chapter President from September 2017 until April 2019 where I updated our membership activities and brought on a talented team. I recently started a position within the Canadian District as Traffic Bowl Coordinator where I hope to create memorable experiences for both our competitors and audience while maintaining the challenge and integrity of the competition.
What do you value most about ITE membership? As an ITE member, I really value the connections I’ve made through numerous interactions at and outside of ITE events. I’ve built lasting memories and/or taught significant topics. GETTING TO KNOW YOU What is the last book that you read or are currently reading? The last book I read was Devolution by Max Brooks which tells the story of a town cut off by natural disaster through the eyes of one of the residents. What is your favourite mode of transportation? My favourite mode of transportation would be rail as it allows either for a relaxing journey for passengers to enjoy the natural beauty of the country or acts as a rapid mass transit system.
