Defining Duke

Duke (noun):

A passionate young man who has a dream to change the world – in some way, shape, or form.

Adventure

I love a good adventure. Hiking, biking, and skiing are my absolute favourite ways to get around places. It's one of my life goals to climb a mountain in every continent. Only 7 more to go!

Connections

I strongly believe in making new friends anywhere I am. Even if they are people who will be in my life for only a moment, I will still appreciate the time we share together and try my best to grow from it.

Learning

I do my best to learn at least one new thing every single day. Whether that be from meeting someone new, reading an exciting book, or self-reflecting about my day I always strive to be more knowledgeable than the person who I was yesterday.

Gaming

I love real time strategy games but am open to playing anything. Some of my all time favourite games include Starcraft 2, Company of Heroes 2, Factorio, and Stardew Valley!

Drive

To me, life is all about drive. And I consistently put my hardest efforts into my work. With an analytical, problem-focused, creative mindset I eagerly accept challenging tasks and look forward to finding unique solutions.

Leadership

In a group setting, I strive to lead the pack along the right path. I am actively involved in my classes, student societies, and social circles. For instance, I was the former President of Waterloo's Engineering Society (2022-2023)!
