ABOUT ME
(He/Him) Douglas
From a young age, I’ve always been curious. Whether it was pestering my father about the stock market or asking my teachers why certain properties of science occurred, I've always had the drive to know more.
â
More recently, I turned my quest for information into a tool: with critical thinking and problem solving as my key distinguisher. This evolved to the point where my grade 11 engineering teacher even nick-named me the "lawyer" due to my skills of finding "loopholes" and alternate solutions.
â
I eventually brought my critical thinking and problem solving to the real world where I've been applying this to a mathematics degree, where every problem is a new case to solve, and a business degree, where my critical thinking skills are being used in case studies.
