Bio
Matt Symes
Alex is an emerging scholar and a first rate researcher. It is rare that an undergraduate can get their work published in Canada's leading journal on Military History but Alex did just that! With his fine written and communication skills, Alex has a bright future.
Jon Pryce
Alex is a well-spoken, intelligent and motivated individual. As an instructional assistant, he went beyond his regular duties to reach out to his students, even if their concerns were complex and time-consuming. With careful detail and planning, Alex was able to conduct tutorials effectively and efficiently, and he never failed to keep them interesting. He was a pleasure to work with, and an even greater pleasure to talk to on a regular basis. I would definitely recommend Alex for a career that requires him to do in-depth research, build long-term and meaningful relationships, work as a team player, and accomplish tasks under high pressure and stress.
