Zoom University, self-reliance and chocolate salad with Corsen Parker

Students and young professionals are facing barriers, uncertainty, biases, changing priorities and now a pandemic as they navigate the school to work transition. Their collective stories have inspired me and now I want to share these stories with you.

Now let’s meet Corsen. Corsen Parker is a 1st year student currently attending the Smith School of Business at Queen's University pursing her Business Commerce Degree with an expected graduation date of 2024.

Corsen is an ambassador and an avid supporter of athletics and the arts. She played varsity hockey, soccer, flag football and golf in high school and was the lead in her high school's production of Grease the Musical.

Corsen is dedicated to creating social change in her community, She wrote two articles, the first of which was published by the Brampton Guardian, a local newspaper, and touched on the lack of mental health policies within Canada’s school boards. Her second article, published by both the Brampton Guardian and The Toronto Star addressed the absence of public funding for wellness initiatives and stressed the relevancy of support for ongoing mental health challenges faced by youth.

Corsen is a first place recent winner of the RBC x QCMHA Case Competition where I got to meet Corsen and her team.
