On March 31st, I had the honour to perform among other U of T dancers at Canada’s largest university dance festival—the Festival of Dance. This is a show performed annually at Hart House, and it would be in-person for the…
All throughout my time in high-school I had to wear a uniform, and we were not allowed to wear any jewelry, makeup, nail polish, or basically any other accessory. It was easy; I woke up, put on my uniform, and…
I speak Spanish. With two Chilean parents and a grandmother who knows virtually nothing of English or French despite living in Montreal for 40 years, not learning Spanish was not an option. So, my sister and I spoke Spanish in…
Back in October, I wrote about the changing faces of success. Since this semester is almost done (and since this is my last post here), I figured that this would be a good chance to add onto what this evolving…

The audience could participate in the discussion through text, take part in polls, and ask the panelists questions. The entrepreneurs answered the audience’s questions and spoke about their experiences throughout their careers.
