  “My time with the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) was incredible. Leading into an Olympic year, the office was extremely busy which prepared me for a fast-pace work environment and kept me very motivated at the same time. The various projects I worked on while at the COC helped me build confidence to head into new experiences. However, I believe that the most important part of my time there was the connections I made with my co-workers. Everyone was working towards the same common goal as a team which made it a phenomenal work environment.”

  “I chose Human Kinetics at Windsor because growing up I was always passionate about sports, and dreamed of one day working in the industry. Once I arrived and started classes, I realized the potential to achieve my dreams, and never looked back. My only regret would be not believing in myself and my ability to succeed in my earlier years. If I had the same mindset that I do now in my first year, I would be even further ahead than I am now. My recommendations for current students is to go get experience, and make connections! Volunteer for events, connect with people on LinkedIn, and never be afraid to apply for a job, even if you don't think you're qualified. Building your resume and your network will only help you later on!”
