"IÂ believe in experience over everything"
My Story
It all began with a tragedy - the Massacre of 23 people in my new community, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The news of the shooting, which occurred over 150 km away by an individual in a fake police car, deeply affected me. I felt helpless and upset, sitting alone in quarantine with no way to assist. But when I returned to Nova Scotia to begin my studies at university, I decided to take action. I resolved to walk the route taken by the shooter and raise awareness about the tragedy.
On November 5th, 2020, I launched the first concept project, and it was a resounding success. With the support of the community, we were able to raise $10,000 for the victims of the tragedy. Witnessing such a senseless act of violence was a sobering experience, but being able to make a tangible difference through the concept project gave me hope and purpose. I knew then that the concept project company was where I wanted to devote my life.
