What attracted you to becoming a Peer Tutor?
I enjoy giving back to the school as well as other students. I also like the idea that it will help solidify the concepts in my head which will be invaluable in my career.
If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?
Get to know your classmates and work together. It really helps to speak concepts out loud and you can also test each other on topics.
What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?
My ideal job would be in data analytics or a data mining job, specifically focusing on Excel. I enjoy connecting the dots using functions and formulas.
If you had a free day, how would you spend it?
My free day would be spent playing golf. It would also involve something else outside like cycling and doing the Grouse Grind.

To work in a place where I can challenge myself and work towards being a P.Eng.
