I actually wanted to be an actor. I was doing lots of musical theater and drama classes, and I just loved being on the stage—preparing, remembering lines, dressing up, and singing songs with my friends. So that’s what I always envisioned I would do. And then my parents said, “Well, you probably won’t make a living doing this, so maybe you should think about something else.” Which is why I studied hard and tried to find other things that I was interested in.
So when did you become interested in foreign policy, and I guess, trade and economics?
It started in twelfth grade, when I was taking an international history class. It was an AP elective where we were digging into Canadian and global history from the First World War to the present time. We were having discussions about some of the big questions, like: Why do we have the international system we have today? What were the factors that shaped it? What are the causes of conflict? And this really sparked a big interest in me to learn more about foreign policy.
