Hello,
My name is Andrew Boright and I am a 2nd year Queen’s Commerce student from Toronto, Ontario. In academics, I would say that my biggest interests at the moment are finance and data analysis. I have many interests outside of school including music (creating and listening), sports, travel, and animals.
Before coming to Queens, my biggest focus in life was sports and alpine skiing in particular. I spent most of high school skiing 4-6 days per week as long as there was snow nearby. Recently, I have become quite interested in whitewater kayaking and will be teaching the sport at a summer camp this summer for my third year.
My interest in employee relations has mainly been sparked by simply not knowing much about it. I hope to someday be in a managerial position and I believe that a strong knowledge of employee relations would be crucial in being a well-liked and successful manager.

Hi Andrew,
Awesome post – We definitely share a lot of the same interests. Skiing 4-6 days per week!? Extremely jealous. Where I live (Windsor, ON) I have to travel at least 3/4 hours to get anywhere close to any decent hills. Where in particular do you usually go to?

Hi Mia,
Most of the time I would train in Collingwood, ON which is only about a 2 hour drive. I was also pretty lucky as I occasionally got to train in places outside of Ontario and even sometimes in the States.

Hey Andrew
We share a love of the mountains! I skied for 7 years but when i switched to snowboarding unfortunately i never went back. Haven’t ever been out as often as you but im enjoying the seasons so far, going to Jay Peak next Sunday!
I think it’s awesome that you’re interested in management. From my management experience i can absolutely recommend it for the challenge it almost always proves to be. It’s definitely fulfilling and keeps life interesting!
