Mason is a laid-back third-year Finance student at the University of Waterloo, known among his friends for his optimistic outlook on life. Growing up in a financially-strapped household, he’s learned to appreciate every opportunity that comes his way, including a surprising scholarship he received last year. Mason has a talent for spotting the silver lining in any situation, which is why he often reminds his peers to embrace unexpected financial windfalls without second-guessing their worth. His mantra, “Don't question free money,” has become a quirky catchphrase among his study group.
