I have had the opportunity to work with Kevin in his role as Global Ambassador for several years. Kevin always has great ideas to share, alumni to recommend and is eager to lend a hand to a fellow alumni. Most recently, Kevin acted a moderator for a panel discussion on "working abroad". Kevin not only guided panelists through the questions seamlessly, but in a way that also took attendees through the decision making process. His style was effective, informative and creative, drawing attendees into the conversation in an incredibly personable way. Although there were many attendees, the panel discussion felt similar to a friendly chat with a friend, engaging both panelists and attendees in the conversation. We, at Laurier Alumni, can't thank Kevin enough for all of his support as volunteer and the empowering way that he engages alumni and students in conversation. Thank you Kevin for all of your hard work and commitment to community.

Kevin and I have had a close working relationship for over 2 years. I knew Kevin as the manager of the entire UNSW engineering student ambassador program. Kevin has an exceptional ability to manage a large team while ensuring the development needs of individuals are met. He has consistently provided numerous opportunity for the up skilling of students across the years. His is able to engage effectively with students and is able to encourage them to try new things and take the opportunities given to them. The UNSW engineering student ambassador program was run very smoothly. Communication between staff and student ambassadors was always very clear. The program also had a very welcoming culture where students were never afraid to ask for help if needed. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kevin. He is an amazing person who is genuinely a pleasure to be around and is more than able to run large student programs effectively.
