Growing up in Uganda, he studied history, economics and literature with plans to become a lawyer. Nursing was never part of the plan.

Everything changed after immigrating to Canada in 2019. Aine completed his final year of high school in Scarborough before enrolling in the University of Windsor's nursing program at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was adapting to a new country, a new education system and a new way of learning all at once.
