Raven Caron

Determination and perseverance alone are omnipotent. This principle has guided me through past milestones and will never fade. Becoming a world leader in STEM while closing the socio-economic gaps for fellow Indigenous Canadians are the two pillars I hope to ascend in the next decade; to achieve reconciliation through representation.

Tandem with determination is innovation, whether that is bettering my latte art, or designing complex robotics and machinery. I never rest my thirst for creation and evolution. My family is diverse and allows me to succeed in whatever way I define it; with a supportive brother by my side, a father who is an entrepreneur and a mother who is a teacher, the learning and inspiration never ceases to help me grow.
