Activities and Societies: Elected to SFU Senate
My favorite SFU Profs, Don DeVoretz & James Dean, taught how to decipher economic frameworks and fundamental theorems of macroeconomic inputs of monetary and fiscal policies and resultant outcomes. Their teachings provided excellent introductions to real world problem solving and are still appreciated as impetus for continuous learning of interventionist economic policies.

Economic Empowerment
To be able to share my knowledge to help those who may be challenged in acquiring suitable employment due to a cultural, physical or other challenge, is a gift and a responsibility. To explain how employment markets work and how to succeed in the hiring process delivers meaningful results and each success is deliciously devoured. Everyone falls down (everyone) and if you share how to pick oneself up, everybody wins - especially you.
There are many high integrity and truly nice people…To be able to share my knowledge to help those who may be challenged in acquiring suitable employment due to a cultural, physical or other challenge, is a gift and a responsibility.

There are many high integrity and truly nice people employed within our chosen occupation. To those who give much but receive little if any recognition, look inside and you shall find your reward. You deserve to be thanked and guess what? You just were :)
