The TARA Awards is an awards show held every year to celebrate and showcase the work of students in all three programs under the RTA School of Media at Ryerson.

TIFF isn't only about glamorous red carpets and movie premieres. For the 2015 festival, I was a production assistant for several TIFF press junkets. I acted as a runner by delivering tapes from interview rooms to the control room, and kept time and pace of high profile interviews.

I've watched The Amazing Race (U.S. Edition) since season 3. I always thought it'd be cool to be on the show, because it can't be that difficult, right? Well, it's harder than it looks. I participated in a mock race in downtown Toronto for Amazing Race Canada, and tested out potential challenges for timing and to find any possible issues.

Did you know there used to be a brewery on Ryerson's campus grounds? Or how some scenes in My Big Fat Greek Wedding were shot on campus? These are some of the many facts that I told prospective students, parents, teachers and counsellors while I conducted walking tours of Ryerson. I also had that privilege of representing my school at major recruitment events such as the Ontario Universities’ Fair, educating visitors on the variety of programs that are offered.

One of the most overlooked services that students pay for with their tuition fees is career services. The Ryerson Career Development and Employment Centre supports all students and alumni in their career development and job search. I was a member of the outreach team in my second year of university. We conducted presentations in front of large and small groups to promote career services, initiatives and events available to students. I also assisted with developing new creative marketing strategies to attract more students to use our career services.

My interest in the visual arts led me to working at McKee Fine Arts Camp for the City of Toronto. McKee Fine Arts Camp is a specialty camp that offers camp programs in visual arts, dance, drama and multi-arts for children aged 5-12. The camp has 4 sessions and each session has around 100 campers. I started off in the summer of 2012 as a Camp Specialty Instructor. I was promoted to Assistant Director the next year, and was in charge of planning weekly camp-wide events. I also planned a major special event in conjunction with the camp next door. It was an Alice in Wonderland theme day with a variety of activities, such as a bouncy castle, face painting and special guests.

Our talented group of professionals are accountable for delivering everything our teams need to win. At the end of the day, our mission is simple: bring the world to its feet.

I have a passion not only for high level performance sport, but also a love for community recreation. My first job ever was with the City of Toronto as a Rink Guard. Since then, I have progressed to senior level positions such as a Camp Location Coordinator and Rental Shop Coordinator. As a City of Toronto employee I have developed and challenged my skills in creativity, teamwork, staff supervision, administration and customer service.

The time and effort put in by an athlete begins long before the Olympic Games stage. During my time at the Canadian Olympic Committee, I increased my knowledge not only about Olympic sports but the amateur athletes that compete in them as well. I assisted with both written and photo content curation, along with creating and editing content for the olympic.ca website. I also helped with the weekly Olympic Club contest by selecting winners and preparing prizes for shipment. I provided support during major events such as the Olympic Excellence Series, and the launch of the Rio clothing kit at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
