Bachelor of Commerce, Legal Studies in Business
President’s Medal for Academic Excellence and Student Leadership – Degree

I've always aspired to become a lawyer, so I opted for a major in Legal Studies and a minor in Finance. This combination has provided me with a comprehensive grasp of corporate law, with a specific focus on securities law. At the moment, I am dedicating my efforts to preparing for the LSAT and working, but my long-term objective is securities law, so I’m also participating in legal research and working towards publishing. 

My time at MacEwan University has been enriched by two exceptional mentors: Dr. Dan Wilson and Dr. Chaldeans Mensah. Their mentorship extends far beyond the confines of the classroom, offering me not only academic knowledge but also invaluable life advice.

I’ve also had wonderful experiences at the Students' Association of MacEwan University (SAMU) events and student groups, which were a fantastic way to meet new people and forge lasting friendships. When I was president of the MacEwan United Nations Club, I helped students from the Ukrainian Catholic University and National University Kyiv-Mohyla Academy through the Canada Ukraine project. It led to me being one of nine recipients of the Canadian Bureau of International Education New World Award. I am truly honoured and blessed to be part of this project. 

I am incredibly humbled and grateful to be the recipient of the President's Medal. My journey has had numerous hurdles and hardships along the way, particularly during my first years. This recognition is a testament to dedication and work. Moreover, this medal represents not only the acknowledgment of past achievements but also a commitment to the future. I am inspired to continue my journey, making the most of the opportunities this recognition brings.
