Michael is a creative and technical thinker who was born in Richmond Hill and raised in Scarborough. During his undergrad, Michael served as Project Manager of a student-led webinar that explained the importance of Guerilla Marketing in advertising.

Upon completing his undergrad in 2015, Michael had worked as a Pressroom Coordinator at a printing facility in Etobicoke, and as a Project Coordinator at FedEx Office. During the summer of 2017, Michael had also worked on the studio sets of the TV shows “Salvation” and “Taken” as a background performer.

Why Digital Media?

Michael has always been passionate about utilizing specific technologies in an attempt to make large strides in education, exploration, and medical fields. He plans on utilizing the technology of Virtual Reality and combining it with aspects of Augmented Reality in an attempt to help reinvent the way surgical operations are performed. In the end, Michael hopes that his proposal to utilize these technologies will help reduce the fatigue of surgeons and minimize casualties during long and complicated medical procedures.
