“I grew up in a tropical country, so, there you go. That was my impression, this place is cold. And it gets dark at 4:00 pm. So the next question was, what am I doing here? But I came here to Montreal because I guess I was having like a quarter life crisis. I was at a very well-paying job back in the Philippines, it was an American company and I just figured, like I asked myself, is this what I want like forever? Is this it? So like a lot of those questions, you know, basically pushed me to decide to go back to school. And my dad told me, The world is your oyster.”
