Choose to Focus

Karma is an energy that can work both ways; therefore, it’s important to give others what you wish to receive. Good things happen to good people.

SIFE Ryerson (Enactus)

My last year in university was by far the most rewarding year. I had the opportunity to join the award-winning SIFE [Students in Free Enterprise] Ryerson team, assist the marketing department and even co-manage the RU Green? Program.

My creative outlet of choice used to be my sketchbook, and the pictures show how a simple sketch became my first design for Danielle G Clothing (DGC).
