Future Aspirations: Over the first two years of my Electrical Engineering degree, I have had the opportunity to be involved with the creation of Saskatchewan’s first student-built satellite. This experience has gripped my curiosity for space and other high-tech industries. Whether it’s satellites or other cutting-edge technologies, in the future I’d be happy working on any of the new, up-and-coming, or unknown challenges Electrical Engineering presents.

Thoughts: I am thrilled to be the 2023 recipient of the Gord Kuhn Scholarship. This scholarship will help minimize the stress I experience as a student. Thank you, SaskTel for supporting the student community. Scholarships like these are a valuable investment into the education of SaskTel families.
