Meet Ivan Petrov, a 20-something engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo who grew up in a family of immigrants from Russia. His love for technology and innovation bridges the gap between his rich cultural heritage and his passion for modern engineering solutions. Ivan often uses humor and wit to connect with others on campus, and his comment reflects his playful take on the contrasts between life in Russia and Canada, often sharing anecdotes from his parents’ experiences to shed light on his unique perspective.
