Bio
About | As a student at HEC Montreal, I am deeply passionate about animal welfare and committed to driving positive change in this field. With seven years of personal experience as a vegetarian, I have developed a strong understanding of the ethical and environmental implications of our food choices. My expertise lies in sustainable agriculture, social entrepreneurship, and community engagement, with a particular focus on creating impactful initiatives for farm animal sanctuaries. I have not yet published any research, but I’ve been researching sustainable agriculture since the beginning of my studies. My ethos revolves around compassion, sustainability, and social responsibility. I believe in fostering empathy towards all beings and creating a more compassionate world where animals are treated with dignity and respect. My goal is to leverage my knowledge and skills to contribute to the well-being of farm animals and inspire others to embrace ethical living practices. I am motivated to join the SBC community to connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion for creating positive social impact through business ventures. I believe that by collaborating with other aspiring social entrepreneurs, I can learn from their experiences, exchange ideas, and collectively work towards building a more compassionate and sustainable future. Together, we can leverage our skills and resources to address pressing social and environmental challenges, including those related to animal welfare and sustainable food systems. |
