Meet Amir, a second-year Master’s student in Economics at the University of Waterloo. Hailing from a family of small business owners, Amir developed an early fascination with market dynamics and regulatory policies. He often spends his evenings analyzing corporate strategies and the impacts of regulatory frameworks on emerging markets. His passion for social equity drives him to advocate for a balanced approach between corporate profit and consumer protection. In his free time, Amir enjoys discussing economics over coffee at local cafés and organizing events that promote financial literacy within his community.
