I grew up in Airdrie, where I spent my entire high school journey before attending the University of Calgary for firefighting. When I first heard about Scholars Edge, I was just wrapping up one of my courses, unsure of what I wanted to tackle next. I had always wanted to pursue entrepreneurship but never knew how to get started.

During my first year with Scholars Edge, I gained valuable lessons in leadership, business, and the freedom of working for myself, something I had always dreamed of. This experience helped me discover a new sense of direction and the person I wanted to become, giving me the confidence to take control of my future.

Now, four years later, I am proud to be a Regional Manager, mentoring students while continuing to apply the valuable skills I learned at Scholars Edge to grow my own professional painting business. Time and time again, I have seen how this program transforms students into confident entrepreneurs, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed. My goal is to continue sharing my knowledge, empowering others to take on new challenges, and helping them build a future they are proud of just as Scholars Edge did for me.
