January 2023 Updates

Brittany Csontos: Project Manger

Growing up I used to talk about wanting to work on computers as a job, not really knowing what I even meant by that, but now I’m only a few months out from graduating with a degree in electrical engineering. My younger self however would not believe what I have been able to achieve within my time in university. When I was younger one of the topics I had the most interest in was how electronics work. Now, I have been able to explore this interest in ways that my younger self would never have thought were possible. By joining the low power team on Sunstang three years ago, I was able to explore my interest in electronics but growing into the project manager of the club has led me to learn more about myself and what I am capable of in a way that would be very surprising to my younger self.

Erika Frost: VP Operations

I think my younger self would be surprised by a lot of things in my life today – where I go to school, what I am studying, and my prospective career path (to name a few). When I was growing up I had the same idea as to what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go to school for so many years. I was so certain that these things were exactly what I wanted. It wasn’t until my gap year after I graduated that all these things changed, and had I not taken a gap year I would most likely be in a completely different place in my life (both literally and figuratively) than where I am now. I am really grateful that I had the chance to change my mind and to take the risk of straying away from what I had always wanted (or at least what I thought I wanted). Regardless of the the fact that my life is completely different than what I my younger self could have ever imagined, I know my younger self would be very proud of where I am today and for pursuing something that I am extremely passionate about.

Kristine Lee: Marketing and Media Lead

I think my younger self would be surprised that I decided to pursue a dual degree with Business. I had always been a math and science person, and from a young age I knew I wanted to be an engineer… even though I did not entirely know what that entailed at the time. But the decision to also study business was not really on my radar, and was something I was honestly unsure about up to the day I accepted my offer from Ivey. However, I am happy with my decision and I feel like it has really opened up my mind to think in ways I have not considered before. My younger self would definitely be proud!
