Bio
Elysia Somogyvari, CCDP
Fozan is a great leader and peer support in the Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University. I supervised Fozan while he worked as a Career Assistant in the Engineering Co-op and Career Services department providing peer-to-peer co-op and career support to students in various levels and programs within the faculty. I was consistently impressed with Fozan’s dedication and enthusiasm which shined through in his 1:1 meetings with students, as well as the virtual workshops he facilitated with the Career Assistant team. Fozan is an excellent communicator and team player, and will be an asset to any company!
