Testimonials
“I’m currently a Product Manager at Indigo’s head office where I work with digital teams to create seamless online shopping experiences for our customers. Enactus has played a critical role in helping me get exposed to new innovative spaces that I would not have known (it helped me discover the tech space!), make invaluable connections in the community, and taught me what it means to have a growth mindset.”
— Isabel Gan
“Enactus provided me with a strong foundation to build my career upon. It has taught me really valuable problem-solving skills and also allowed me to take a leadership role within a business, projects, and programs that were operating in the real world, which is unique. I also met a lot of like-minded individuals through Enactus, many of whom I keep in touch with to this day. Enactus is a great network to be a part of. Enactus gave me memories, experiences, and friends that will last a lifetime.”
